Gene Information

human ... AKR1B1(231)

General description

AKR1B1 codes for a aldo/keto reductase superfamily that catalyzes the reduction of aldehydes. It may functions as PGF synthase in pig endometrium during early pregnancy. AKR1B1 can be induced by proteasome inhibitors in human colon cancer cells. Polymoprhisma in AKR1B1 have been linked to renal insufficiency in type 2 diabetics.
Rabbit Anti-AKR1B1 antibody recognizes chicken, canine, rabbit, human, mouse, rat, bovine, pig, and zebrafish AKR1B1.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human AKR1B1

Application

Rabbit Anti-AKR1B1 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 1.25μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

AKR1B1 is a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. This member catalyzes the reduction of a number of aldehydes, including the aldehyde form of glucose, and is thereby implicated in the development of diabetic complications by catalyzing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol.This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. This member catalyzes the reduction of a number of aldehydes, including the aldehyde form of glucose, and is thereby implicated in the development of diabetic complications by catalyzing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol. There are a few putative pseudogenes for this gene, and one of them has been confirmed and mapped to chromosome 3.
