Description

SDR16C5 encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family. The enzyme functions as a retinol dehydrogenase, catalyzing the oxidation of all-trans-retinol to all-trans-retinal, a key step in retinoic acid biosynthesis. It is expressed in the epididymis and other tissues, and may play a role in spermatogenesis and vitamin A metabolism.

Protein Summary

SDR16C5 is a 317-amino acid membrane-bound short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase. It contains a conserved NAD(P)-binding domain and a catalytic tetrad (Asn-Ser-Tyr-Lys). The enzyme specifically oxidizes all-trans-retinol to all-trans-retinal, contributing to retinoic acid synthesis. It is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and is highly expressed in the epididymis.
