Rabbit anti-Human RDH11 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q8TC12

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RDH11

Target Full Name

Retinol dehydrogenase 11

Target Function

Retinol dehydrogenase with a clear preference for NADP. Displays high activity towards 9-cis, 11-cis and all-trans-retinol, and to a lesser extent on 13-cis-retinol. Exhibits a low reductive activity towards unsaturated medium-chain aldehydes such as cis -6-nonenal and no activity toward nonanal or 4-hydroxy-nonenal. Has no dehydrogenase activity towards steroid.

Target Involvement

Retinal dystrophy, juvenile cataracts, and short stature syndrome (RDJCSS)

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family

Target Tissue Specificity

Predominantly expressed in the epithelial cells of prostate, in both basal and luminal secretory cell populations. Expressed at low levels in spleen, thymus, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon, peripherical blood leukocytes, kidney, adrenal gland and f

Target Background

Enables NADP-retinol dehydrogenase activity. Involved in cellular detoxification of aldehyde and retinoid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within retinal metabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
