Retinol Dehydrogenases Regulate Vitamin A Metabolism for Visual Function.

Nutrients - 22 Nov 2016

Sahu Bhubanananda, Maeda Akiko

Abstract excerpt

The visual system produces visual chromophore, 11-cis-retinal from dietary vitamin A, all-trans-retinol making this vitamin essential for retinal health and function. These metabolic events are mediated by a sequential biochemical process called the visual cycle. Retinol dehydrogenases (RDHs) are responsible for two reactions in the visual cycle performed in retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells, photoreceptor...
