all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity
Definition
Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: retinol + NAD+ = retinal + NADH + H+. [RHEA:21284]
All-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity is a crucial enzymatic function involved in the metabolism of vitamin A. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of all-trans-retinol, the alcohol form of vitamin A, to all-trans-retinaldehyde, the aldehyde form. The reaction utilizes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as a cofactor, which is reduced to NADH during the oxidation process. This conversion is essential for the synthesis of 11-cis-retinal, a key component of rhodopsin, the light-sensitive pigment in the eye responsible for vision. Additionally, all-trans-retinaldehyde can be further metabolized to retinoic acid, a potent regulator of cell growth, differentiation, and development. In summary, all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity plays a pivotal role in maintaining adequate levels of active vitamin A forms necessary for visual function, growth, and cellular processes.'
