Recombinant human Aldo-keto reductase 1A1/AKR1A1 protein
Alcohol dehydrogenase [NADP+] (AKR1A1) is a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily and catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to their corresponding alcohols. This protein is closely related (65% identity) to aldose reductase, an enzyme involved in the pathogenesis of some diabetic and galactosemic complications. It plays a role in the activation of procarcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon trans-dihydrodiols, and in the metabolism of various xenobiotics and drugs, including the anthracyclines doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAuN) . Recombinant human Alcohol dehydrogenase was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
