Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Predicted to be involved in 9-cis-retinoic acid biosynthetic process; androgen metabolic process; and progesterone metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within steroid metabolic process. Predicted to be integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human DHRS9 (dehydrogenase/reductase 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
