Conjugation:
Unconjugated
Alternative Names:
carbonyl reductase 2,carbonyl reductase II,DCR,dicarbonyl/L-xylulose reductase,epididymis secretory sperm binding protein,HCR2,HCRII,human carbonyl reductase 2,KIDCR,kidney dicarbonyl reductase,L-xylulose reductase,P34H,PNTSU,SDR20C1,short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 20C member 1,sperm surface protein P34H,XR.
Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of several pentoses, tetroses, trioses, alpha-dicarbonyl compounds and L-xylulose. Participates in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism. May play a role in the water absorption and cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules by producing xylitol, an osmolyte, thereby preventing osmolytic stress from occurring in the renal tubules.
