Comments
Comment typeDescription
CofactorName=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
FunctionOxidoreductase involved in biosynthesis of 3- hydroxyretinal, a chromophore for rhodopsin Rh1. Not responsible for the initial hydroxylation of the retinal ring but rather acts in a subsequent step in chromophore production. May catalyze the conversion of (3R)-3-hydroxyretinol to the 3S enantiomer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15640158, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16464863}.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAF54634.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityBelongs to the GMC oxidoreductase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationSecreted {ECO:0000305}.
