|
| Function |
Recognizes as substrates free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein-bound retinal. Seems to be the key enzyme in the formation of an RA gradient along the dorso-ventral axis during the early eye development and also in the development of the olfactory system (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed at low levels in many tissues and at higher levels in salivary gland, stomach, and kidney.
|
| Top Pathways |
Chemical carcinogenesis, Glycolysis / Gluconeogenesis, Drug metabolism - cytochrome P450, Metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450, Tyrosine metabolism
