功能： Critical isomerohydrolase in the retinoid cycle involved in regeneration of 11-cis-retinal, the chromophore of rod and cone opsins. Catalyzes the cleavage and isomerization of all-trans-retinyl fatty acid esters to 11-cis-retinol which is further oxidized by 11-cis retinol dehydrogenase to 11-cis-retinal for use as visual chromophore . Essential for the production of 11-cis retinal for both rod and cone photoreceptors . Also capable of catalyzing the isomerization of lutein to meso-zeaxanthin an eye-specific carotenoid . The soluble form binds vitamin A (all-trans-retinol), making it available for LRAT processing to all-trans-retinyl ester. The membrane form, palmitoylated by LRAT, binds all-trans-retinyl esters, making them available for IMH (isomerohydrolase) processing to all-cis-retinol. The soluble form is regenerated by transferring its palmitoyl groups onto 11-cis-retinol, a reaction catalyzed by LRAT (By similarity).

细胞定位： Cytoplasm . Cell membrane ; Lipid-anchor . Microsome membrane . Attached to the membrane by a lipid anchor when palmitoylated (membrane form), soluble when unpalmitoylated. Undergoes light-dependent intracellular transport to become more concentrated in the central region of the retina pigment epithelium cells. .
组织表达： Retina (at protein level). Retinal pigment epithelium specific.
