Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables D-sorbitol dehydrogenase (acceptor) activity; D-xylulose reductase activity; and L-iditol 2-dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Involved in D-glucuronate catabolic process to D-xylulose 5-phosphate; flagellated sperm motility; and fructose biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within sorbitol metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion and motile cilium. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early embryo; limb; metanephros; and nervous system. Used to study cataract. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 8. Orthologous to human SORD (sorbitol dehydrogenase).
