AKR7L  
    


    
      Official symbol:  AKR7L
      Full name:  aldo-keto reductase family 7 like (gene/pseudogene)
      Location:  1p36.13; 1p35-p36.1
      Also known as:  AFAR3
      Entrez ID:  246181
      Ensembl ID:  ENSG00000211454
      Summary:  This gene is one of three aldo-keto reductase genes that are present in a cluster on the p arm of chromosome 1. The encoded proteins are involved in the reduction of the dialdehyde protein-binding form of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) to the non-binding AFB1 dialcohol. It has been speculated that this family member encodes a selenoprotein, which includes a selenocysteine (Sec) residue in lieu of a UGA translational termination codon. However, there is no evidence that such a protein is produced in vivo. The alternative interpretation is that this family member is a segregating pseudogene, where some individuals have an allele that encodes a functional enzyme, while other individuals have an allele encoding a protein that is predicted to be non-functional.
