title: Cloning and expression of the cDNA encoding rabbit liver carbonyl reductase.
abstract: Two cDNA sequences encoding rabbit carbonyl reductase (CBR) were cloned from a lambda gt10 rabbit liver cDNA library. The rabbit cDNAs coded for a protein with 84% identity to human CBR. Transient expression of the two rabbit cDNA sequences in COS7 cells increased both quinone reductase and aldo-keto reductase activities. These data demonstrate that CBR cDNAs from rabbit and human tissues code for similar proteins.
