About RDH8

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:10,013,483-10,022,279 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 364 orthologues and 13 paralogues. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 1.0), testis (RPKM 0.7) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

This 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]
