Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; multi-pass membrane protein
Tissue specificity: Expressed in all tissues examined. Highest expression in placenta. High expression in lung, kidney, stomach and small intestine, low expression in heart, spleen and skeletal muscle. Weakly expressed in normal hematopoietic tissues. Higher expression in so
Function: Catalyzes the reduction of 3-ketodihydrosphingosine (KDS) to dihydrosphingosine (DHS)
Catalytic activity: Sphinganine + NADP(+) = 3-dehydrosphinganine + NADPH
Similarity: Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
