Target Species
Human
Target Name
RDH5
Target Full Name
Retinol dehydrogenase 5
Target Function
Catalyzes the oxidation of cis-isomers of retinol, including 11-cis-, 9-cis-, and 13-cis-retinol in an NAD-dependent manner. Has no activity towards all-trans retinal. Plays a significant role in 11-cis retinol oxidation in the retinal pigment epithelium cells (RPE). Also recognizes steroids (androsterone, androstanediol) as its substrates.
Target Involvement
Fundus albipunctatus (FALBI)
Target Subcellular Location
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein; Lumenal side.
Target Protein Families
Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family
Target Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed. In the eye, abundant in the retinal pigment epithelium.
Target Synonyms
RDH5; HSD17B9; RDH1; SDR9C5; Retinol dehydrogenase 5; EC 1.1.1.209; EC 1.1.1.315; EC 1.1.1.53; 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase; 11-cis RDH; 11-cis RoDH; 9-cis retinol dehydrogenase; 9cRDH; Short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 9C member 5
Target Background
This gene encodes an enzyme belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. This retinol dehydrogenase functions to catalyze the final step in the biosynthesis of 11-cis retinaldehyde, which is the universal chromophore of visual pigments. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive fundus albipunctatus, a rare form of night blindness that is characterized by a delay in the regeneration of cone and rod photopigments. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream BLOC1S1 (biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex-1, subunit 1) gene.
