Gene information for DCXR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51181
Official gene symbolDCXR
Full namedicarbonyl/L-xylulose reductase
Aliases,DCR,HCR2,HCRII,KIDCR,P34H,SDR20C1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze diacetyl reductase and L-xylulose reductase reactions. The encoded protein may play a role in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism and in the cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules. Defects in this gene are a cause of pentosuria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
