Processes
  • embryonic eye morphogenesis
  • face development
  • nucleus accumbens development
  • olfactory pit development
  • positive regulation of apoptotic process
  • optic cup morphogenesis involved in camera-type eye development
  • locomotory behavior

General FunctionThyroid hormone binding
Specific FunctionRecognizes as substrates free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein-bound retinal. Seems to be the key enzyme in the formation of an RA gradient along the dorso-ventral axis during the early eye development and also in the development of the olfactory system (By similarity).
