Aldo-keto reductase family 1, member B1 (AKR1B1), also known as aldose reductase, is an

ketones to the corresponding alcohol. The involvement of AKR1B1 in oxidative stress diseases, cell signal transduction
, and cell proliferation process endows AKR1B1 with potential as a therapeutic target.

Structure

Gene

The AKR1B1 gene lies on the

exons. There are a few putative pseudogenes for this gene, and one of them has been confirmed and mapped to chromosome 3.[6]

Protein

AKR1B1 consists of 316

dinucleotide binding fold. The way it binds NADPH differs from other nucleotide adenine dinucleotide-dependent enzymes. The active site pocket of human aldose reductase is relatively hydrophobic, lined by seven aromatic and four other non-polar residues.[7]

Function

AR belongs to the aldehyde-keto reductase

Clinical significance

Under diabetic conditions AR converts glucose into sorbitol, which is then converted to fructose. 20466987 It has been found to play an important role in many

diabetes complications such as diabetes retinopathy and renopathy.[10][11][12] It is also involved in many oxidative stress diseases, cell signal transduction, and cell proliferation process including cardiovascular disorders, sepsis, and cancer.[13]

It has been reported that the action of AR contributes to the activation of retinal

endotoxemia and other ROS-induced inflammatory diseases.[12]

Interactions

AKR1B1 has been found to interact with:
