SRD5A3 (Polyprenal reductase) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Prostate cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
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). Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (UniProt). Locus 4q12 (HGNC).
