Reduces prostaglandin E2 to prostaglandin F2alpha. A number of other 9-oxo- and 15-oxo-prostaglandin derivatives can also be reduced to the corresponding hydroxy compounds. May be identical with EC 1.1.1.197 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NADP+).

peri- and postimplantation conceptus. Prostaglandin H synthase and prostaglandin E synthase are down-regulated, and prostaglandin G synthase, prostaglandin F synthase and carbonyl reductase/prostaglandin 9-reductase are down-regulated in conceptuses during trophoblasic elongation. After initiation of implantation, expression of prostaglandin G synthase, prostaglandin F synthase and carbonyl reductase/prostaglandin 9-reductase in conceptuses increases and remains higher until days 24-25 of pregnancy
at days 12-14 of pregnancy and the estrous cycle, the expression of prostaglandin E2 synthase, prostaglandin F synthase, and carbonyl reductase/prostaglandin 9-ketoreductase genes and prostaglandin E2 synthase/prostaglandin F synthase ratio are significantly higher in corpora lutea of the pregnant gilts compared to the corpora lutea from the parallel ovaries of the cyclic gilts. There is no difference in expression of prostaglandin E2 synthase, prostaglandin F synthase, and carbonyl reductase/prostaglandin 9-ketoreductase genes and prostaglandin E2 synthase/prostaglandin F synthase ratio between corpora lutea ipsi- and contralateral to the uterine horn with the developing embryos
