Aldo-Keto Reductase-7 Definition
Encoded by human oncogene AKR7A2 Gene, widely expressed 330-amino acid 36.6 kD AFAR polypeptide (Aldo/Keto Reductase 2 Family) is similar to rat Afar, to a Shaker-related voltage-gated potassium channel, and to aldose reductase. Aldoketoreductases (AKRs) detoxify aldehydes and ketones; AFAR is the principal liver reductase for 2-carboxybenzaldehyde and can metabolize Aflatoxin B1 protein-binding dihydrodiol. AFAR may protect the liver against the toxic and carcinogenic effects of Aflatoxin B1. (OMIM, Swiss-Prot, and NCI)
