retinoid isomerohydrolase (retinol isomerase)

catalyzes the isomerization of all trans-retinol to 11-cis-retinol in the dark; found in the pigment epithelium in the eye; also converts all-trans-retinyl esters to 11-cis-retinol
Also Known As:
retinol isomerase; RPE65 protein, human; RPE65 protein, zebrafish; RPE65c protein, zebrafish; Rpe65 protein, mouse; Rpe65 protein, rat; retinal pigment epithelium 65 protein, human; retinal pigment epithelium 65 protein, mouse; retinal pigment epithelium 65 protein, rat; retinal pigment epithelium specific 65 kDa protein, zebrafish; retinal pigment epithelium-specific protein 65c protein, zebrafish; retinal pigment epithelium-specific protein, human; retinoid isomerase
