Description
The enzyme recognizes all-trans-retinol and all-trans-retinal as substrates and exhibits a strong preference for NAD+/NADH as cofactors. Recognizes the substrate both in free form and when bound to cellular-retinol-binding-protein (CRBP1), but has higher affinity for the bound form. No activity with 11-cis-retinol or 11-cis-retinal (cf. EC 1.1.1.315, 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase). Also active with 3α-hydroxysteroids.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
retinol (vitamin A1) dehydrogenase; MDR; microsomal retinol dehydrogenase; retinol dehydrogenase (misleading); retinal reductase (ambiguous); retinene reductase; epidermal retinol dehydrogenase 2; SDR16C5 (gene name); RDH16 (gene name)
Reaction
all-trans-retinol-[cellular-retinol-binding-protein] + NAD+ = all-trans-retinal-[cellular-retinol-binding-protein] + NADH + H+
