Gene nameRDH8
Protein nameRetinol dehydrogenase 8 (EC 1.1.1.300) (Photoreceptor outer segment all-trans retinol dehydrogenase) (Short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 28C member 2)
Retinol dehydrogenase 8
Retinol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.300)
SynonymsPRRDH
SDR28C2
DescriptionFUNCTION: Retinol dehydrogenase with a clear preference for NADP. Converts all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol. May play a role in the regeneration of visual pigment at high light intensity (By similarity). .
