Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases family signature

Description:

The short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases family (SDR) [1] is a very large family of enzymes, most of which are known to be NAD- or NADP-dependent oxidoreductases. As the first member of this family to be characterized was Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase, this family used to be called [2,3,4] 'insect-type', or 'short-chain' alcohol dehydrogenases. Most member of this family are proteins of about 250 to 300 amino acid residues. The proteins currently known to belong to this family are listed below.

We use as a signature pattern for this family of proteins one of the best conserved regions which includes two perfectly conserved residues, a tyrosine and a lysine. The tyrosine residue participates in the catalytic mechanism.
