Type

  • Chemical

Definition

  • Information A family of NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases that reduce carbonyl substrates including sugar-aldehydes, ketosteroids; keto-prostaglandins, and quinones. they are monomers of approximately 37 kda and are characterized by a parallel beta-8 (beta sheet)-alpha 8 (alpha helices)-barrel structure that contains the nadp binding site. This conformation favors aromatic and apolar substrates.
