Summary
Enables aldose reductase (NADPH) activity; carbonyl reductase (NADPH) activity; and diacetyl reductase ((S)-acetoin forming) (NAD+) activity. Involved in acetoin metabolic process; cellular response to oxidative stress; and pentose catabolic process. Located in nucleus. Is active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including 46,XY sex reversal 8; alcohol dependence; congenital bile acid synthesis defect 2; leukemia (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including AKR1A1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1); AKR1B1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B); and AKR1B10 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10).

  • NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase; reduces multiple substrates including 2-methylbutyraldehyde and D,L-glyceraldehyde, expression is induced by osmotic and oxidative stress; functionally redundant with other aldo-keto reductases; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress; YPR1 has a paralog, GCY1, that arose from the whole genome duplication; human homolog AKR1B1 can complement yeast null mutant
