Members in this family are characterized by their structure (evolutionarily highly conserved TIM barrel) and function (NAD(P)H-dependent oxido-reduction of carbonyl groups). Transcripts of this gene have been reported in specimens of human testis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012] Expression Biased expression in testis (RPKM 4.3), thyroid (RPKM 0.6) and 8 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
