Background
AKR1C4 is a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols by utilizing NADH and/or NADPH as cofactors. The enzymes display overlapping but distinct substrate specificity. This enzyme catalyzes the bioreduction of chlordecone, a toxic organochlorine pesticide, to chlordecone alcohol in liver. This gene shares high sequence identity with three other gene members and is clustered with those three genes at chromosome 10p15-p14.Synonyms: 3-alpha-HSD1, 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I, Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C4, CDR, CHDR, Chlordecone reductase, DD-4, DD4, Dihydrodiol dehydrogenase 4, HAKRA
