NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The enzyme encoded by this gene is responsible for the catalysis of the 5-beta-reduction of bile acid intermediates and steroid hormones carrying a delta(4)-3-one structure. Deficiency of this enzyme may contribute to hepatic dysfunction. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Other variants may be present, but their full-length natures have not been determined yet. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
Uniprot Description
AKR1D1: Efficiently catalyzes the reduction of progesterone, androstenedione, 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone and testosterone to 5-beta-reduced metabolites. The bile acid intermediates 7- alpha,12-alpha-dihydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one and 7-alpha-hydroxy-4- cholesten-3-one can also act as substrates. Defects in AKR1D1 are the cause of congenital bile acid synthesis defect type 2 (CBAS2); also known as cholestasis with delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5-beta-reductase deficiency. Patients with this liver disease show absence or low levels of chenodeoxycholic acid and cholic acid in plasma and urine. Belongs to the aldo/keto reductase family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "AKR1D1, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
