AKR1E2 (Aldo-Keto Reductase Family 1 Member E2): AKR1E2 is part of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) family, a group of enzymes involved in detoxifying aldehydes and ketones. Although the precise function of AKR1E2 is not yet fully understood, members of this family play key roles in metabolism and the cellular response to oxidative stress. Research into AKR1E2 may offer insights into metabolic disorders and how cells react to environmental stressors.
