General annotation (Comments)

Function

Converts 9-cis-retinal to 9-cis-retinoic acid. Has lower activity towards 13-cis-retinal. Has much lower activity towards all-trans-retinal. Has a preference for NAD, but shows considerable activity with NADP (in vitro) By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm. Ref.1

Tissue specificity

Detected in hepatocytes and in proximal and distal convoluted tubules in kidney cortex (at protein level). Highly expressed in adult liver and in kidney cortex. First detected in embryonic liver after 15 days of development. Ref.1

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

Activity was measured with total soluble protein.

KM=2.3 µM for 9-cis-retinal

Vmax=3.4 nmol/min/mg enzyme
