Enables oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Involved in D-glucuronate catabolic process to D-xylulose 5-phosphate and cellular detoxification of aldehyde. Acts upstream of or within D-glucuronate catabolic process; L-ascorbic acid biosynthetic process; and aldehyde catabolic process. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is active in cytosol and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human AKR1A1 (aldo-keto reductase family 1 member A1).
