Gene information for RDH12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID145226
Official gene symbolRDH12
Full nameretinol dehydrogenase 12 (all-trans/9-cis/11-cis)
Aliases,FLJ30273,LCA13,LCA3,SDR7C2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is an NADPH-dependent retinal reductase whose highest activity is toward 9-cis and all-trans-retinol. The encoded enzyme also plays a role in the metabolism of short-chain aldehydes but does not exhibit steroid dehydrogenase activity. Defects in this gene are a cause of Leber congenital amaurosis type 3 (LCA3). [provided by RefSeq]
