RDH12
Retinol dehydrogenase

is an
enzyme
that in
humans
is
encoded
by the
RDH12
gene.
Retinoids
are
indispensable
light-sensitive
elements
of
vision
and also
serve
as
essential
modulators of
cellular differentiation
and
proliferation
in
diverse
cell types
. RDH12
belongs to
a
family
of dual-specificity
retinol
dehydrogenases
that
metabolize
both all-trans- and cis-retinols.
