Comments
  • FUNCTION: Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of several pentoses, tetroses, trioses, alpha-dicarbonyl compounds and L-xylulose. Participates in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism. May play a role in the water absorption and cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules by producing xylitol, an osmolyte, thereby preventing osmolytic stress from occurring in the renal tubules.
  • CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Xylitol + NADP+ = L-xylulose + NADPH.
  • SUBUNIT: Homotetramer.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Acrosome. Note=Probably recruited to membranes via an interaction with phosphatidylinositol. During epididymal transit, it accumulates on the acrosomal cap of spermatozoa.
  • TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in kidney and liver. Expressed in epididymis. Weakly expressed in brain, heart, lung, spleen and testis.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
