Biophysicochemical Properties Kinetic parameters: KM=0.3 mM for 1-Phenyl-1,2-propanedione {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16685466}; KM=1.1 mM for 2,3-Heptanedione {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16685466}; KM=0.8 mM for 3,4-Hexanedione {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16685466}; Vmax=0.52 mmol/min/mg enzyme with 1-Phenyl-1,2-propanedione as substrate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16685466}; Vmax=0.64 mmol/min/mg enzyme with 2,3-Heptanedione as substrate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16685466}; Vmax=0.35 mmol/min/mg enzyme with 3,4-Hexanedione as substrate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16685466};
Function Displays NADPH-dependent dicarbonyl reductase activity in vitro with 3,4-Hexanedione, 2,3-Heptanedione and 1-Phenyl-1,2- propanedione as substrates. No reductase activity is displayed in vitro with steroids, retinoids and sugars as substrates. Attenuates MDM2-mediated p53/TP53 degradation, leading to p53/TP53 stabilization and increased transcription activity, resulting in the accumulation of MDM2 and CDKN1A/p21. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16685466, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547751}.
Induction Up-regulated by IL4 and CSF2 in monocytes/macrophages. Down-regulated by bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and TNF in monocytice-derived dendritic cells. Up-regulated by MYB. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11944995}.
Similarity Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location Mitochondrion matrix. Nucleus. Note=A minor fraction of the protein is translocated from the mitochondria to the nucleus, after cleavage of the targeting signal.
Subunit Directly interacts with MDM2; this interaction occurs in the nucleus and does not target DHRS2 to degradation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20547751}.
Tissue Specificity Widely expressed, with highest levels in liver and kidney, followed by heart, spleen, skeletal muscle and placenta. In hemopoietic cells, expressed in dendritic cells, but not in monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes, nor in B and T lymphocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11944995}.
