Abstract excerpt
Mouse rdh1 encodes retinol dehydrogenase type 1 (RDH1), a short-chain dehydrogenase, which recognizes as substrates all-trans-retinol, 9-cis-retinol, 5alpha-androstan-3,17-diol and 5alpha-androstan-3-ol-17-one. RDH1 is the most efficient known mouse short-chain dehydrogenase that catalyzes dehydrogenation of all-trans-retinol, and contributes to a reconstituted path of all-trans-retinoic acid biosynthesis, when...
