Polyprenal reductase

UniProt Q9H8P0 Organism Homo sapiens Gene SRD5A2L, SRD5A3 EC 1.3.1.94, 1.3.1.22

Also known as: SRD5A2L, SRD5A3

Function

Plays a key role in early steps of protein N-linked glycosylation by being involved in the conversion of polyprenol into dolichol. Acts as a polyprenal reductase that mediates the reduction of polyprenal into dolichal in a NADP-dependent mechanism. Dolichols are required for the synthesis of dolichol-linked monosaccharides and the oligosaccharide precursor used for N-glycosylation. Also able to convert testosterone (T) into 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
