Human Recombinant AKR7A3

AKR7A3, is a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. It takes part in the detoxification of aldehydes and ketones. AKR7A3 reduces the dialdehyde protein-binding form of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) to the non-binding AFB1 dialcohol. AKR7A3 participates in protection of liver against the toxic and carcinogenic effects of AFB1, a potent hepatocarcinogen.
