Protein
Retinol dehydrogenase 13
Function
Retinol dehydrogenase with a clear preference for NADP. Oxidizes all-trans-retinol, but seems to reduce all-trans-retinal with much higher efficiency (PubMed:18039331). Has no activity toward steroids (PubMed:18039331).
Similarity
Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
