Cytoskeleton-associated protein 5 is a microtubule-associated protein that in humans is encoded by the CKAP5 gene. It is mapped to 11p11.2. This gene encodes a cytoskeleton-associated protein which belongs to the TOG/XMAP215 family. The N-terminal half of this protein contains a microtubule-binding domain and the C-terminal half contains a KXGS motif for binding tubulin dimers. This protein has two distinct roles in spindle formation; it protects kinetochore microtubules from depolymerization and plays an essential role in centrosomal microtubule assembly. This protein may be necessary for the proper interaction of microtubules with the cell cortex for ional cell movement. It also plays a role in translation of the myelin basic protein (MBP) mRNA by interact ernatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

3-oxo-5-beta-steroid 4-dehydrogenase; Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member D1; Delta (4)-3-ketosteroid 5-beta-reductase; Delta (4)-3-oxosteroid 5-beta-reductase; AKR1D1; SRD5B1

Catalyzes the stereospecific NADPH-dependent reduction of the C4-C5 double bond of bile acid intermediates and steroid hormones carrying a delta4-3-one structure to yield an A/B cis-ring junction. This cis-configuration is crucial for bile acid biosynthesis and plays important roles in steroid metabolism. Capable of reducing a broad range of delta-4-3-ketosteroids from C18 (such as, 17beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) to C27 (such as, 7alpha-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one).
