Other name(s)
retinol saturase, RetSat, (13,14)-all-trans-retinol saturase, all-trans-retinol:all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinol saturase
Systematic name
all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinol:acceptor 13,14-oxidoreductase

879291-21-1
Comment
The reaction is only known to occur in the opposite direction to that given above, with the enzyme being specific for all-trans-retinol as substrate. Neither all-trans-retinoic acid nor 9-cis, 11-cis or 13-cis-retinol isomers are substrates. May play a role in the metabolism of vitamin A.
