Background
SORD, also known as sorbitol dehydrogenase, is a 357 amino acid protein of the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. It is widely expressed with highest expression in kidney, lens of the eye and malignant prostate tissue. SORD enzymatically catalyzes the zinc-dependent interconversion of polyols, such as sorbitol and xylitol, to their respective ketoses. SORD deficiency may be associated with diabetic complications such as cataracts and microvascular problems.
