Alcohol dehydrogenase [NADP+] also known as aldehyde reductase or aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1 is an

non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[9]

Structure

Gene

The AKR1A1 gene lies on the

exons
.

Protein

AKR1A1 consists of 325

amino acids and weighs 36573Da. The tertiary structure consists of a beta/alpha-barrel, with the coenzyme-binding site located at the carboxy-terminus end of the strands of the barrel.[10] Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding the same protein.[7]

Function

AKR1A1 gene is found highly expressed in kidney and liver, and moderately expressed in

4-hydroxynonenal and play a role in the resistance to oxidative stress.[16]

Clinical significance

A SNP in intron 5 of AKR1A1 has been found to be significantly associated with increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[9] AKR1A1 could activate procarcinogens, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.[8] AKRs have been linked to metabolism of the anthracyclines doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAUN), allelic variants showed significantly reduced metabolic activities, and hence these allelic variants can possibly act as genetic biomarkers for the clinical development of DAUN-induced cardiotoxicity.[17]

Interactions

4-hydroxynonenal [16]

polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon[8]

DAUN [17]
