Tissue Specificity | Expressed at low levels in many tissues and at higher levels in salivary gland, stomach, and kidney. |
Function | Catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of aldehyde substrates, such as all-trans-retinal and all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinal, to their corresponding carboxylic acids, all-trans-retinoate and all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinoate, respectively. High specificity for all-trans-retinal as substrate, can also accept acetaldehyde as substrate in vitro but with lower affinity. Required for the biosynthesis of normal levels of retinoate in the embryonic ocular and nasal regions.a critical lipid in the embryonic development of the eye and the nasal region. |
