Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10)
- Target
- AKR1B10
- Molecular classification
- Enzyme, Oxidoreductase, Aldo-keto reductase superfamily
01
Overview
Aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B10 (AKR1B10) is an NADPH-dependent enzyme of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily that catalyzes the reduction of carbonyl-containing compounds, especially aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, protecting cells from oxidative stress and regulating lipid metabolism. It is highly expressed in the gastrointestinal tract and overexpressed in multiple cancers, where it has been associated with tumor progression, chemoresistance, and is under investigation as a prognostic biomarker

02
Mechanism of action
Drugs inhibiting AKR1B10 act as enzyme inhibitors, reducing its activity in metabolic detoxification and possibly abrogating chemoresistance in certain cancers
03
Biological functions
Xenobiotic metabolismDetoxification of carbonyl compoundsReduction of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydesLipid metabolismProtection against oxidative stress
04
Disease associations
Cancer (including liver and digestive system cancers)CarcinogenesisChemoresistance
05
Safety considerations
Targeting AKR1B10 could affect detoxification and lipid metabolism, potentially leading to unintended metabolic disturbances or altered drug metabolism; impact on normal tissue expression remains a therapeutic challenge
06
Interacting drugs
No specific approved drugs directly targeting AKR1B10 were identified in the search results. However, AKR1B10 may influence drug resistance or metabolism of chemotherapeutic agents
07
Biomarkers
Overexpression in several cancers (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer) is investigated as a biomarker for cancer prognosis and possibly treatment response
