Carbonyl Reductase 2 (CBR2)

AP27; LCR; Adipocyte protein P27; Adipocyte protein P27; Lung carbonyl reductase; NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductase 2

Carbonyl Reductase 2 (CBR2)
CBR2, Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. Lung (ciliated cells, non-ciliated bronchiolar cells and type-II alveolar pneumocytes). Low expression in adipose tissue > testis = heart > kidney = spleen > brain = liver.May function in the pulmonary metabolism of endogenous carbonyl compounds, such as aliphatic aldehydes and ketones derived from lipid peroxidation, 3-ketosteroids and fatty aldehydes, as well as in xenobiotic metabolism.
Carbonyl reductases (CREDs) are enzymes useful for enantiomeric resolutions, chemo- and regioselective reductions/oxidations, and synthesis of chiral alcohols from ketones, ketoacids, and ketoesters. They also catalyse the reduction of a number of aldehydes. The CRED catalysed reduction of the carbonyl moiety requires cofactor (NADH or NADPH) regeneration and is carried out with either isopropyl alcohol or with glucose dehydrogenase.
