Recombinant Human AKR1C4 (N-6His)

Product Specifications

Background

Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C4/AKR1C4 is a member of the aldo/keto reductase family that consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. AKR1C4 has highly expressed in Liver. It can catalyzes the bioreduction of chlordecone, a toxic organochlorine pesticide, to chlordecone alcohol in liver. AKR1C4 catalyzes the transformation of the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into the less active form, 5-α-Androstan-3-α,17-β-diol (3-α-diol) . In addition, AKR1C4 also has some 20-α-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase activity.
