Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase SDR; short chain dehydrogenase; and NAD(P)-binding domain superfamily. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
dhs-28. In C. elegans,
dhs-28 is involved in several processes, including carbohydrate derivative metabolic process; dauer entry; and positive regulation of developmental process.
