Alcohol dehydrogenase [NADP(+)] (AK1A1)

Target (abbrv.) AK1A1
Target (full name) Alcohol dehydrogenase [NADP(+)]
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL008039 (4192-10_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol AKR1A1
UniProt ID P14550
UniProt Comment
  • Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes to their corresponding alcohols. Catalyzes the reduction of mevaldate to mevalonic acid and of glyceraldehyde to glycerol. Has broad substrate specificity. In vitro substrates include succinic semialdehyde, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde, 1,2-naphthoquinone, methylglyoxal, and D-glucuronic acid. Plays a role in the activation of procarcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon trans-dihydrodiols, and in the metabolism of various xenobiotics and drugs, including the anthracyclines doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAUN).

  • metapathway biotransformation

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs6662572) and 43 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
