Facts about Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C15.
To a lesser extent, can also catalyze the reduction of some aldoses and ketoses and the oxidation of some sugar alcohols (PubMed:17574202). In the stomach, lung and colon tissues, mediates the decrease in farnesal and geranylgeranial to farnesol and geranylgeraniol respectively (PubMed:21187079).
