Enzyme Commission Number
EC 1.1.1.315
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
11-cis-retinol—[retinal-binding-protein] + NAD+ = 11-cis-retinal—[retinol-binding-protein] + NADH + H+
Systematic Name
11-cis-retinol:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Function
This enzyme, abundant in the retinal pigment epithelium, catalyses the reduction of 11-cis-retinol to 11-cis-retinal while the substrate is bound to the retinal-binding protein. This is a crucial step in the regeneration of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of rhodopsin. The enzyme can also accept other cis forms of retinol.
Other name
RDH5 (gene name)
