| Function |
Displays NADPH-dependent dicarbonyl reductase activity in vitro with 3,4-Hexanedione, 2,3-Heptanedione and 1-Phenyl-1,2- propanedione as substrates. No reductase activity is displayed in vitro with steroids, retinoids and sugars as substrates. Attenuates MDM2-mediated p53/TP53 degradation, leading to p53/TP53 stabilization and increased transcription activity, resulting in the accumulation of MDM2 and CDKN1A/p21. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16685466, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547751}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion matrix. Nucleus. Note=A minor fraction of the protein is translocated from the mitochondria to the nucleus, after cleavage of the targeting signal.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed, with highest levels in liver and kidney, followed by heart, spleen, skeletal muscle and placenta. In hemopoietic cells, expressed in dendritic cells, but not in monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, nor in B and T lymphocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11944995}.
