| Description: | Aldose reductase (AKR1B1) is a member of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) superfamily and catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols. This protein is implicated in the development of diabetic complications by catalyzing the reduction of glucose to sorbitol. Recombinant Aldose reductase (AKR1B) protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. |
