Recombinant AKR1B10 protein showed strong enzymatic activity to acrolein and crotonaldehyde, with K (m) = 110.1 +/- 12.2 microM and V (max) = 3,122.0 +/- 64.7 nmol/mg protein/min for acrolein and K (m) = 86.7 +/- 14.3 microM and V (max) = 2,647.5 +/- 132.2 nmol/mg protein/min for crotonaldehyde.

Carcinogenesis. 2009 Sep;30(9):1571-80. Epub 2009 Jul 16.

This study also shows that AKR1B10, AKR1C1 and AKR1C2 proteins have potential utility as biomarkers for NRF2 activation in the human.
Activation of NRF2, by KEAP1 knockdown, caused a 75% increase in the amount of glutathione in HaCaT cells and a 1.4- to 1.6-fold increase in their resistance to the electrophiles acrolein, chlorambucil and cumene hydroperoxide (CuOOH), as well as the redox-cycling agent menadione.
