MGP005072

Record overview

MGPD IDMGP005072
Gene ID50700
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Nameretinol dehydrogenase 8 (all-trans)
Gene Symbol RDH8
SynonymsPRRDH; SDR28C2;
Alternate namesretinol dehydrogenase 8; photoreceptor outer segment all-trans retinol dehydrogenase; short chain dehydrogenase/reductase family 28C, member 2;
Chromosome19
Map Location19p13.2
EC Number1.1.1.300
SummaryThis gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the reduction of all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol, the first reaction step of the rhodopsin regeneration pathway. This enzymatic reaction is the rate-limiting step in the visual cycle. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
