Description
This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 40 known enzymes and proteins. This member catalyzes the reduction of a number of aldehydes, including the aldehyde form of glucose, and is thereby implicated in the development of diabetic complications by catalyzing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol. Multiple pseudogenes have been identified for this gene. The nomenclature system used by the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee to define human aldo-keto reductase family members is known to differ from that used by the Mouse Genome Informatics database.

Descripción
AKR1B1, also known as aldose reductase, is a key enzyme in the polyol pathway that converts glucose to sorbitol under hyperglycemic conditions. It has a significant role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, such as neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy, as sorbitol accumulation induces osmotic stress and oxidative damage. AKR1B1 also metabolizes reactive aldehydes, including lipid peroxidation products like 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), contributing to cellular detoxification under oxidative stress. Its overactivation under diabetic and inflammatory conditions exacerbates oxidative stress and inflammatory signaling pathways. AKR1B1 inhibitors have been developed as potential therapeutic agents for managing diabetic complications. Beyond diabetes, AKR1B1 is involved in steroid metabolism and the detoxification of xenobiotics. It has also been implicated in cancer progression, as its expression is upregulated in some tumors, promoting proliferation and chemoresistance by reducing reactive aldehydes and maintaining cellular redox balance.
