Enables carboxylic acid binding activity; nucleotide binding activity; and oxidoreductase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Involved in dicarboxylic acid metabolic process. Located in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary hyperoxaluria and primary hyperoxaluria type 2. Orthologous to human GRHPR (glyoxylate and hydroxypyruvate reductase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
