    basic FUNCTION
  • aldo-ketoreductase, catalyzing detoxification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
  • AKR1C1, AKR1C2 subfamily genes are stress-inducible and might function as survival factors in keratinocytes
  • AKR1C1, AKR1C2 and AKR1C3 may enhance progesterone metabolism in ovarian endometriosis
  • crucial role of AKR1C1 in regulating both metastasis and drug resistance
  • not only plays an important role in hormone metabolism but is believed to be involved in carcinogen metabolism
  • plays an important role in the development and progression of Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC)
