Dicarbonyl/L-Xylulose Reductase (DCXR) (AA 1-244) protein (His tag)
Description
DCXR catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of numerous pentoses, tetroses, trioses, alpha-dicarbonyl molecules and L-xylulose. DCXR takes part in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism. DCXR participates in the water absorption and cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules by producing xylitol, an osmolyte, thus preventing osmolytic stress from occurring in the renal tubules Synonyms: DCR, HCR2, HCRII, KIDCR, P34H, SDR20C1, Dicarbonyl/L-Xylulose Reductase, EC=1.1.1.10, Carbonyl reductase II, Kidney dicarbonyl reductase, Sperm surface protein P34H
