MeSH definition : A family of NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases that reduce carbonyl substrates including
sugar-aldehydes, KETOSTEROIDS; keto-prostaglandins, and QUINONES. They are monomers
of approximately 37 KDa and are characterized by a parallel beta-8 (BETA SHEET)-alpha
8 (ALPHA HELICES)-barrel structure that contains the NADP binding site. This conformation
favors aromatic and apolar substrates.;
