== Gene Information ==
* **Official Symbol**: RDH8
* **Official Name**: retinol dehydrogenase 8
* **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A
* **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=50700|50700]]
* **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9NYR8|Q9NYR8]]

== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the reduction of all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol, the first reaction step of the rhodopsin regeneration pathway. This enzymatic reaction is the rate-limiting step in the visual cycle. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014].
* **UniProt Summary**: Retinol dehydrogenase with a clear preference for NADP. Converts all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol. May play a role in the regeneration of visual pigment at high light intensity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
