Akr1c20

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 several processes, including glycoside metabolic process; progesterone metabolic process; and prostaglandin metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within steroid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytosol. 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); AKR1C3 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3); and AKR1C4 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4).

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 Akr1c20 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
