dhs-21 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables L-xylulose reductase (NADP+) activity and carbonyl reductase (NADPH) activity. Involved in xylulose catabolic process. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in hermaphrodite gonad; hypodermis; and intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pentosuria. Is an ortholog of human DCXR (dicarbonyl and L-xylulose reductase).
