Background： This gene encodes an enzyme that is involved in the inactivation of the chemotactic factor, leukotriene B4. The encoded protein specifically catalyzes the NADP+ dependent conversion of leukotriene B4 to 12-oxo-leukotriene B4. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009],

Function：catalytic activity:11-alpha-hydroxy-9,15-dioxoprost-5-enoate + NAD(P)(+) = (5Z)-(13E)-11-alpha-hydroxy-9,15-dioxoprosta-5,13-dienoate + NAD(P)H.,catalytic activity:n-alkanal + NAD(P)(+) = alk-2-enal + NAD(P)H.,function:Functions as 15-oxo-prostaglandin 13-reductase and acts on 15-oxo-PGE1, 15-oxo-PGE2 and 15-oxo-PGE2-alpha. Has no activity towards PGE1, PGE2 and PGE2-alpha (By similarity). Catalyzes the conversion of leukotriene B4 into its biologically less active metabolite, 12-oxo-leukotriene B4. This is an initial and key step of metabolic inactivation of leukotriene B4.,similarity:Belongs to the NADP-dependent oxidoreductase L4BD family.,subunit:Monomer or homodimer.,tissue specificity:High expression in the kidney, liver, and intestine but not in leukocytes.,

Subcellular Location：Cytoplasm .

Expression：High expression in the kidney, liver, and intestine but not in leukocytes.
