Function
Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols. Displays strong enzymatic activity toward all-trans-retinal, 9-cis-retinal, and 13-cis-retinal. Plays a critical role in detoxifying dietary and lipid-derived unsaturated carbonyls, such as crotonaldehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, trans-2-hexenal, trans-2,4-hexadienal and their glutathione-conjugates carbonyls (GS-carbonyls).
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Lysosome; Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Found in many tissues. Highly expressed in small intestine, colon and adrenal gland
Pathway: Cofactor metabolism; retinol metabolism
