Supplementary information

RDH5 also known as retinol dehydrogenase 5 or 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that plays an important role in the visual cycle. It has a molecular mass of approximately 35 kDa and primarily functions in the conversion of 11-cis-retinol to 11-cis-retinal which is a significant step in the biosynthesis of visual pigments. RDH5 is expressed mainly in the retinal pigment epithelium of the eye where it contributes to maintaining proper vision.
Biological function summary

11-cis retinol dehydrogenase facilitates the regeneration of 11-cis-retinal from 11-cis-retinol a critical process for photoreceptor cell function and visual cycle continuity. RDH5 operates as part of a complex of enzymes involved in the retinoid cycle which is essential for maintaining a continuous supply of 11-cis-retinal. Without RDH5 the regeneration of 11-cis-retinal would be ineffective reducing the ability to see especially in low-light conditions.

Pathways

The retinol dehydrogenase 5 enzyme plays a major role in the visual cycle pathway. This pathway is necessary for converting retinoids into visual chromophores that allow vision. RDH5 interacts closely with other key enzymes such as RPE65 and RDH12 which also participate in retinoid transformations. The proper functioning of the visual cycle pathway depends on the actions of these enzymes to ensure the availability of 11-cis-retinal for photoreceptor function.

Defects in the RDH5 gene can lead to retinal degenerative diseases like fundus albipunctatus and retinitis pigmentosa. These conditions are characterized by night blindness and progressive vision loss. Mutations in RDH5 affect the synthesis of 11-cis-retinal disrupting the visual cycle and contributing to these diseases. RDH5 shares a pathway with RPE65 another protein implicated in retinal disorders highlighting the interconnectedness of proteins involved in the visual cycle and their impact on eye health.

Target data

Catalyzes the oxidation of cis-isomers of retinol, including 11-cis-, 9-cis-, and 13-cis-retinol in an NAD-dependent manner (PubMed : 10588954, PubMed : 11675386, PubMed : 9115228, PubMed : 9931293). Has no activity towards all-trans retinal (By similarity). Plays a significant role in 11-cis retinol oxidation in the retinal pigment epithelium cells (RPE). Also recognizes steroids (androsterone, androstanediol) as its substrates (PubMed : 29541409, PubMed : 9931293).
