Protein
Aldo-keto reductase AKR2E4
Function
NADP-dependent oxidoreductase with high 3-dehydroecdysone reductase activity. May play a role in the regulation of molting. Has lower activity with phenylglyoxal and isatin (in vitro). Has no activity with NADH as cosubstrate. Has no activity with nitrobenzaldehyde and 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde.
