DHRS7 Gene Summary [Human]
This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family, which has over 46,000 members. Members in this family are enzymes that metabolize many different compounds, such as steroid hormones, prostaglandins, retinoids, lipids and xenobiotics. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human DHRS7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- NADP-retinol dehydrogenase
- Rossmann-fold NAD(P)(+)-binding proteins
- sepiapterin reductase
- CH-OH group:NAD or NADP oxidoreductase
- enzyme
- protein binding
- Enoyl-(Acyl carrier protein) reductase
- short chain dehydrogenase
- carbonyl reductase (NADPH)
