Function | In the visual cycle, acts as an inward-directed retinoid flipase, retinoid substrates imported by ABCA4 from the extracellular or intradiscal (rod) membrane surfaces to the cytoplasmic membrane surface are all-trans-retinaldehyde (ATR) and N-retinyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine (NR-PE). Once transported to the cytoplasmic surface, ATR is reduced to vitamin A by trans- retinol dehydrogenase (tRDH) and then transferred to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) where it is converted to 11-cis-retinal. May play a role in photoresponse, removing ATR/NR-PE from the extracellular photoreceptor surfaces during bleach recovery. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10075733}. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10075733}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10075733}. Note=Localized to outer segment disk edges of rods and cones, with around one million copies/photoreceptor. |
Tissue Specificity | Retinal-specific. Seems to be exclusively found in the rims of rod photoreceptor cells. |
