About DCXR

Cytogenetic location: 17q25.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:82,035,858-82,037,697 (from NCBI)

This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants), 186 orthologues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 345.1), kidney (RPKM 158.4) and 7 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene acts as a homotetramer to catalyze diacetyl reductase and L-xylulose reductase reactions. The encoded protein may play a role in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism and in the cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules. Defects in this gene are a cause of pentosuria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
