Substrate specificity of retinyl ester hydrolase activity in retinal pigment epithelium
In the eye, hydrolysis of stored retinyl esters is catalyzed by retinyl ester hydrolase (REH) activities in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) membranes. In the present study, biochemical analyses were conducted to determine the substrate specificity of these activities. Specific activities determined...
