Harmonizome 3.0

retinol dehydrogenase 16 (all-trans)

Enables all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol dehydrogenase activity; and androsterone dehydrogenase activity. Involved in steroid metabolic process. Located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

retinol dehydrogenase 10 (all-trans)

This gene encodes a retinol dehydrogenase, which converts all-trans-retinol to all-trans-retinal, with preference for NADP as a cofactor. Studies in mice suggest that this protein is essential for synthesis of embryonic retinoic acid and is required for limb, craniofacial, and organ development. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

retinol dehydrogenase 13 (all-trans/9-cis)

This gene encodes a mitochondrial short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase, which catalyzes the reduction and oxidation of retinoids. The encoded enzyme may function in retinoic acid production and may also protect the mitochondria against oxidative stress. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

retinol dehydrogenase 16 (all-trans) pseudogene

all-trans retinoic acid-induced differentiation factor

This gene is thought to be involved in apoptosis, and may also be involved in hematopoietic development and differentiation. The use of alternative splice sites and promotors result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

retinol dehydrogenase 14 (all-trans/9-cis/11-cis)

Enables all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Involved in osteoblast differentiation. Located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

retinol dehydrogenase 11 (all-trans/9-cis/11-cis)

Enables all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Involved in cellular detoxification of aldehyde and retinoid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within retinal metabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

retinol dehydrogenase 12 (all-trans/9-cis/11-cis)

The protein encoded by this gene is an NADPH-dependent retinal reductase whose highest activity is toward 9-cis and all-trans-retinol. The encoded enzyme also plays a role in the metabolism of short-chain aldehydes but does not exhibit steroid dehydrogenase activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Leber congenital amaurosis type 13 and Retinitis Pigmentosa 53. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

retinol dehydrogenase 16 (all-trans) pseudogene

retinol saturase (all-trans-retinol 13,14-reductase)

Predicted to enable all-trans-retinol 13,14-reductase activity. Predicted to be involved in retinol metabolic process. Located in membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

retinol dehydrogenase 8 (all-trans)

This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the reduction of all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol, the first reaction step of the rhodopsin regeneration pathway. This enzymatic reaction is the rate-limiting step in the visual cycle. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
