Functions
  • aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD) activity
  • retinal dehydrogenase activity
Processes
  • retinoic acid metabolic process
  • retinal metabolic process
  • 9-cis-retinoic acid biosynthetic process
Components
  • intracellular

General FunctionRetinal dehydrogenase activity
Specific FunctionConverts 9-cis-retinal to 9-cis-retinoic acid. Has lower activity towards 13-cis-retinal. Has much lower activity towards all-trans-retinal. Has highest activity with benzaldehyde and decanal (in vitro). Has a preference for NAD, but shows considerable activity with NADP (in vitro).
