CBR1 Gene Summary [Human]

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family, which function as NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases having wide specificity for carbonyl compounds, such as quinones, prostaglandins, and various xenobiotics. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]

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 CBR1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Rossmann-fold NAD(P)(+)-binding proteins
  • 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NADP)
  • prostaglandin-E2 9-reductase
  • CH-OH group:NAD or NADP oxidoreductase
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
  • Enoyl-(Acyl carrier protein) reductase
  • short chain dehydrogenase
  • carbonyl reductase (NADPH)
  • NADH or NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase
