    basic FUNCTION
  • aldo-ketoreductase reducing aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes, less active on hexoses
  • playing a critical role in the growth and proliferation of cancer cells by detoxifying reactive carbonyls and regulating fatty acid biosynthesis
  • may be responsible for detoxification of reactive aldehydes in the digested food before the nutrients are passed on to other organs
  • may regulate cell proliferation and cellular response to additional carbonyl stress
  • regulates the stability of acetyl-coA carboxylase-alpha and is a novel regulator of the biosynthesis of fatty acid in breast cancer cells
  • may play a greater role in lung carcinogenesis through dysregulation of reinoic acid homeostasis than through oxidation of PAH trans-dihydrodiols
  • dysregulated in Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma
  • might be useful as a new marker for identification of high lung cancer risk patients in usual interstitial pneumonia
  • may play an important role in tumor progression or drug resistance
  • new secretory protein belonging to a lysosome-mediated non-classical protein-secretion pathway and is a potential serum marker
