Rdh11 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable aldehyde dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity and all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular detoxification of aldehyde; retinol metabolic process; and visual perception. Predicted to act upstream of or within retinal metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and photoreceptor inner segment. Orthologous to human RDH11 (retinol dehydrogenase 11). [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 Rdh11 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
