The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family, which function as NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases having wide specificity for carbonyl compounds, such as quinones, prostaglandins, and various xenobiotics. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.,CBR1, CBR, SDR21C1, hCBR1, carbonyl reductase 1,Cancer,Signal Transduction,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Endocrine & Metabolism,CBR1
