Gene name

AKR1C2

Description

aldo-keto reductase family 1, member C2 (dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 2; bile acid binding protein; 3-alpha hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, type III)

Protein class

Enzymes, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols using NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. The enzymes display overlapping but distinct substrate specificity. This enzyme binds bile acid with high affinity, and shows minimal 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. This gene shares high sequence identity with three other gene members and is clustered with those three genes at chromosome 10p15-p14. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

Staining summary

Strong cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity was observed in hepatocytes, urinary bladder and stomach. A subset of glandular cells in small intestine and exocrine glandular cells in pancreas along with oral mucosa, esophagus, nasopharynx and Leydig cells were moderately stained. Remaining normal tissues were in general negative.
