UniPlot Summary
Function// Can reduce the dialdehyde protein-binding form of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) to the non-binding AFB1 dialcohol. May be involved in
protection of liver against the toxic and carcinogenic effects of AFB1, a potent hepatocarcinogen.
Subunit structure// Homodimer.
Subcellular location// Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity// Expressed in colon, kidney, liver, pancreas, adenocarcinoma and endometrium.
Sequence similarities// Belongs to the aldo/keto reductase 2 family.
