Aldehyde reductase involved in detoxification of lignocellulose-derived aldehydes; catalyzes the reduction of furan, aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes using either NADH or NADPH as co-factor; membrane of the quinone oxidoreductase subfamily of the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family; null mutant displays sensitivity to DNA damaging agents; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
