Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of a wide variety of carbonyl-containing compounds to their corresponding alcohols (PubMed: 9565553, PubMed: 18087047, PubMed: 12732097, PubMed: 19013440, PubMed: 19563777). Displays strong enzymatic activity toward all-trans-retinal, 9-cis-retinal, and 13-cis-retinal (PubMed: 12732097, PubMed: 18087047). Plays a critical role in detoxifying dietary and lipid-derived unsaturated carbonyls, such as crotonaldehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, trans-2-hexenal, trans-2,4-hexadienal and their glutathione-conjugates carbonyls (GS-carbonyls) (PubMed: 19013440, PubMed: 19563777). Displays no reductase activity towards glucose (PubMed: 12732097).
