Akr1cl Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including geranylgeranyl reductase activity; oxidoreductase activity, acting on CH-OH group of donors; and oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-CH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Predicted to be involved in glycoside metabolic process; progesterone metabolic process; and prostaglandin metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in adrenal medulla; interstitium of the testis; seminiferous cord; testis; and urogenital ridge. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal 8; B-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma; T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; alcohol dependence; and leukemia. Orthologous to several human genes including AKR1C1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1); AKR1C2 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C2); and AKR1C3 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3).

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 Akr1cl often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
