Dhrs2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable carbonyl reductase (NADPH) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to oxidative stress; electron transport chain; and negative regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion; nuclear envelope; and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in lower lip and upper lip. Orthologous to human DHRS2 (dehydrogenase/reductase 2).

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 mouse Dhrs2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- polyketide synthase keto reductase domain
- Rossmann-fold NAD(P)(+)-binding proteins
- sepiapterin reductase
- KR domain
- CH-OH group:NAD or NADP oxidoreductase
- pteridine reductase
- enzyme
- protein binding
- Enoyl-(Acyl carrier protein) reductase
- short chain dehydrogenase
- 3-oxoacyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) reductase, putative
- carbonyl reductase (NADPH)
