Protein Name: L-xylulose reductase

UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: DCXR_MOUSE (Q91X52)

Gene Name: Dcxr

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).

Function: Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of several pentoses, tetroses, trioses, alpha-dicarbonyl compounds and L- xylulose. Participates in the uronate cycle of glucose metabolism. May play a role in the water absorption and cellular osmoregulation in the proximal renal tubules by producing xylitol, an osmolyte, thereby preventing osmolytic stress from occurring in the renal tubules.

Protein Subcellular Localization: Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein (By similarity). Apical cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=Probably recruited to membranes via an interaction with phosphatidylinositol (By similarity). In kidney, it is localized in the brush border me
