Bloc1s1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; protein homodimerization activity; and steroid dehydrogenase activity, acting on the CH-OH group of donors, NAD or NADP as acceptor. Predicted to be involved in retinoid metabolic process and steroid metabolic process. Located in cell body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fundus albipunctatus and night blindness. Orthologous to human RDH5 (retinol dehydrogenase 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Bloc1s1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
