The Logistical Backbone of Visual Function: Complementary Function of Dietary Vitamin A Receptors and Rhodopsin Transporters

2024-03-14

Abstract excerpt

In this review, we outline our current understanding of the mechanisms involved in the absorption, storage, and transport of dietary vitamin A to the eye, the trafficking of rod opsin protein to the photoreceptor outer segments, which encompasses the logistical backbone required for visual function. Two key mechanisms of this process are emphasized in this manuscript: Ocular and systemic vitamin A membrane transpo...
