| Uniprot ID: |
RPE65_MOUSE |
| Immunogen Region: |
490-533 aa |
| Specificity: |
Specific for RPE65. |
| Immunogen: |
A synthetic peptide from aa region 490-533 of mouse RPE65 conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in rat and shares 88% identity with human sequence. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Palmitoylation by LRAT regulates ligand binding specificity.the palmitoylated form (membrane form) specifically binds all-trans-retinyl-palmitate, while the soluble unpalmitoylated form binds all-trans-retinol (vitamin A). |
| Function | Critical isomerohydrolase in the retinoid cycle involved in regeneration of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of rod and cone opsins. Catalyzes the cleavage and isomerization of all-trans-retinyl fatty acid esters to 11-cis-retinol which is further oxidized by 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase to 11-cis-retinal for use as visual chromophore. Essential for the production of 11-cis retinal for both rod and cone photoreceptors. Also capable of catalyzing the isomerization of lutein to meso-zeaxanthin an eye-specific carotenoid. The soluble form binds vitamin A (all-trans-retinol), making it available for LRAT processing to all-trans-retinyl ester. The membrane form, palmitoylated by LRAT, binds all-trans-retinyl esters, making them available for IMH (isomerohydrolase) processing to all-cis-retinol. The soluble form is regenerated by transferring its palmitoyl groups onto 11-cis-retinol, a reaction catalyzed by LRAT. |
