DHRS7 explained

Dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR family) member 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DHRS7 gene.[1]

Function

Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs), such as DHRS7, catalyze the oxidation/reduction of a wide range of substrates, including retinoids and steroids.[2] [3]
