title: Specificity of hydrogen transfer of mammalian and avian carbonyl and aldehyde reductases.
abstract: Aldehyde reductases from several mammalian and avian tissues transferred the pro-4R hydrogen of NADPH to the substrate, whereas the stereospecificity of carbonyl reductases was not uniform being correlated with the ability to catalyze the oxidoreduction of hydroxysteroids.
