Gene Symbol RDH5
SynonymsRDH1; 9cRDH; SDR9C5; HSD17B9;
Alternate names11-cis retinol dehydrogenase; 11-cis RDH; 11-cis RoDH; 9-cis retinol dehydrogenase; 9-cis-retinol specific dehydrogenase; retinol dehydrogenase 1; retinol dehydrogenase 5 (11-cis and 9-cis); short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 9C, member 5;

EC Number1.1.1.315
SummaryThis 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. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
