Xenopus laevis short-chain dehydrogenase/ reductase 3 (dhrs3) regulates early embryonic development through modulating retinoic acid metabolism.

All-trans retinoic acid (atRA) is an important morphogen in many developmental processes, including apoptosis, growth, organogenesis and differentiation.
