Predicted to enable NAD-retinol dehydrogenase activity; RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including keratinocyte proliferation; regulation of histone modification; and retinoid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nucleus. Predicted to be part of transcription repressor complex. Predicted to be active in lipid droplet. Predicted to colocalize with chromatin; endoplasmic reticulum; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SDR16C5 (short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 16C member 5).
