Gene: AKR7A2
Alternate names for this Gene: AFAR|AFAR1|AFB1-AR1|AKR7
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the aldo/keto reductase (AKR) superfamily and AKR7 family, which are involved in the detoxification of aldehydes and ketones. The AKR7 family consists of 3 genes that are present in a cluster on the p arm of chromosome 1. This protein, thought to be localized in the golgi, catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of succinic semialdehyde to the endogenous neuromodulator, gamma-hydroxybutyrate. It may also function as a detoxication enzyme in the reduction of aflatoxin B1 and 2-carboxybenzaldehyde. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p36.13
Description of this Gene: aldo-keto reductase family 7 member A2
