ABSTRACT

Genomic DNA encoding for human aldehyde reductase (AKR1A1), a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily, was isolated and characterized. The genomic DNA is approximately 16 kb in length and contains eight exons which encode the entire coding region and the 3'-untranslated sequences. AKR1A1 was localized on chromosome 1p33-->p32 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
