Biochemical properties, tissue expression, and gene structure of a short chain dehydrogenase/reductase able to catalyze cis-retinol oxidation
We have identified a retinol dehydrogenase (cRDH) that catalyzes the oxidation of 9-cis- but not all-trans-retinol and proposed that this enzyme plays an important role in synthesis of the transcriptionally active retinoid, 9-cis-retinoic acid. There is little information regarding either the bioche...
