Abstract excerpt
Human NAD(+)-dependent microsomal short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase RoDH-4 oxidizes all-trans-retinol, 13-cis-retinol and 3alpha-hydroxysteroids to corresponding retinaldehydes and 3-ketones. RoDH-4 behaves as an integral membrane protein, but its topology in the membrane is not known. Analysis of RoDH-4 polypeptide using algorithms for secondary structure predictions suggests that RoDH-4 contains four...
