Synonyms | SDR7C2 |
Function | Retinoids dehydrogenase/reductase with a clear preference for NADP. Displays high activity towards 9-cis, 11-cis and all-trans- retinal. Shows very weak activity towards 13-cis-retinol (PubMed:15865448, PubMed:12226107). Also exhibits activity, albeit with lower affinity than for retinaldehydes, towards lipid peroxidation products (C9 aldehydes) such as 4-hydroxynonenal and trans-2-nonenal (PubMed:19686838, PubMed:15865448). May play an important function in photoreceptor cells to detoxify 4-hydroxynonenal and potentially other toxic aldehyde products resulting from lipid peroxidation (PubMed:19686838). Has no dehydrogenase activity towards steroids (PubMed:15865448, PubMed:12226107). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed, mostly in retina, kidney, brain, skeletal muscle, pancreas and stomach. |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene is an NADPH-dependentretinal reductase whose highest activity is toward 9-cis andall-trans-retinol. The encoded enzyme also plays a role in themetabolism of short-chain aldehydes but does not exhibit steroiddehydrogenase activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Lebercongenital amaurosis type 3 (LCA3).
