Sdr16c5 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in keratinocyte proliferation; negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and retinoid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including chromatin; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of transcription repressor complex. Predicted to be active in lipid droplet. Orthologous to human SDR16C5 (short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 16C member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
