Gene: DHRS2

Alternate names for this Gene: HEP27|SDR25C1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family, which has over 46,000 members. Members of this family are enzymes that metabolize many different compounds, such as steroid hormones, prostaglandins, retinoids, lipids and xenobiotics. Alternative promoter use and alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 14

Location in Chromosome : 14q11.2

Description of this Gene: dehydrogenase/reductase 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
