Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP05439
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 11038
Name Retinol dehydrogenase 8
Synonyms
  1. Photoreceptor outer segment all-trans retinol dehydrogenase
Gene Name RDH8
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase activity
Specific Function Retinol dehydrogenase with a clear preference for NADP. Converts all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol. May play a role in the regeneration of visual pigment at high light intensity (By similarity).
Pathways
  • Retinol metabolism
  • Retinol Metabolism
  • Vitamin A Deficiency
