Disease relevance of Dhrs4

  • The combined rate for strongly and weakly positive reactions for CR was 32.0% for benign tumours, 38.5% for borderline malignant tumours, and 61.6% for ovarian cancers [1].
  • The CR-positive rate was 35.7% (weakly positive alone) for ovarian cancers with retroperitoneal lymph node (RLN) metastasis and 67.8% for those without RLN metastasis (P< 0.05) [1].
 

High impact information on Dhrs4

  • Reduction of all-trans-retinal in the mouse liver peroxisome fraction by the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase RRD: induction by the PPAR alpha ligand clofibrate [2].
  • The enzyme, mouse retinal reductase (RRD, also known as human 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase), reduces all-trans-retinal [V(m) = 40 nmol min(-1) (mg of protein)(-1); K(0.5) = 2.3 microM] and has 4- and 60-fold less activity with 13-cis-retinal and 9-cis-retinal, respectively [2].
  • Clofibrate feeding increased the amount of RRD protein in the 16,000 g fraction of liver, consistent with the clofibrate-induced increase in reductase activity [2].
  • Recombinant RRD functions with both unbound and CRBP(I) (cellular retinol-binding protein)-bound retinal, but apo-CRBP(I) inhibits the reductase [2].
