Protein
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C1 homolog
Organism
Macaca fascicularis
Function
Converts progesterone to its inactive form, 20-alpha-dihydroxyprogesterone (20-alpha-OHP). In the liver and intestine, may have a role in the transport of bile. May have a role in monitoring the intrahepatic bile acid concentration. May play a role in myelin formation. Can oxidize both 20-alpha- and 3-alpha-hydroxysteroids. Low activity towards 5-alpha-androstan-17-beta-ol-3-one. Can also act on non-steroidal substrates such as S-indan-1-ol, S-tetralol and 4-chromanol.
Similarity
Belongs to the aldo/keto reductase family.
