Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityAll-trans-retinol-[cellular-retinol-binding- protein] + NAD(+) = all-trans-retinal-[cellular-retinol-binding- protein] + NADH.
FunctionActs on retinol bound on cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP). Has higher activity with NADP rather than NAD.
PathwayCofactor metabolism; retinol metabolism.
SimilarityBelongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family
