EC 1.1.1.105     
Accepted name: all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+)
Reaction: all-trans-retinol—[cellular-retinol-binding-protein] + NAD+ = all-trans-retinal—[cellular-retinol-binding-protein] + NADH + H+

Other name(s): retinol (vitamin A1) dehydrogenase; MDR; microsomal retinol dehydrogenase; retinol dehydrogenase (misleading); retinal reductase (ambiguous); retinene reductase; epidermal retinol dehydrogenase 2; SDR16C5 (gene name); RDH16 (gene name)
Systematic name: all-trans retinol:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme recognizes all-trans-retinol and all-trans-retinal as substrates and exhibits a strong preference for NAD+/NADH as cofactors. Recognizes the substrate both in free form and when bound to cellular-retinol-binding-protein (CRBP1), but has higher affinity for the bound form [2]. No activity with 11-cis-retinol or 11-cis-retinal (cf. EC 1.1.1.315, 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase). Also active with 3α-hydroxysteroids [2].

EC 1.1.1.315     
Accepted name: 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase
Reaction: 11-cis-retinol—[retinal-binding-protein] + NAD+ = 11-cis-retinal—[retinol-binding-protein] + NADH + H+
Glossary: 11-cis-retinal = 11-cis-retinaldehyde
Other name(s): RDH5 (gene name)
Systematic name: 11-cis-retinol:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comments: This enzyme, abundant in the retinal pigment epithelium, catalyses the reduction of 11-cis-retinol to 11-cis-retinal [1] while the substrate is bound to the retinal-binding protein [4]. This is a crucial step in the regeneration of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of rhodopsin. The enzyme can also accept other cis forms of retinol [2].
