The function of DHRS7B (dehydrogenase/reductase 7B, ENSG00000109016) is as follows. Reductase required for adipogenesis and activation of PPARG nuclear receptor. Can convert acyl and alkyl dihydroxyacetone-phosphate (DHAP) into glycerolipids and ether lipids, respectively, synthesizing ether-linked phospholipids that act as agonists for PPARG. Also regulates adipogenesis by preventing adipocyte browning: following import into the nucleus, interacts with PRDM16, inhibiting the interaction between PRDM16 and PPARG and preventing differentiation of brown adipocytes. .
