Biological function summary
The protein aids in the effective conversion of all-trans-retinal to 11-cis-retinal an important step in the visual cycle. It acts as a chaperone that stabilizes retinoid intermediates facilitating their transport between various retinal cell types. CRALBP forms part of a complex with retinoid isomerohydrolase and 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase enhancing its binding and transport function. This ensures smooth retinoid flux necessary for regenerating the visual pigment rhodopsin.
Pathways
CRALBP is integral to two main pathways; the retinoid cycle in cones and the rhodopsin regeneration pathway in rods. In these pathways it interacts with proteins such as RPE65 and 11-cis-retinol dehydrogenase ensuring efficient retinoid transfer and isomerization. This important involvement supports the regeneration of visual pigments necessary for photoreceptor cell function under various lighting conditions.
