A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 1.1.1.300

Accepted Name
NADP-retinol dehydrogenase.
Alternative Name(s)
All-trans retinal reductase.
All-trans-retinol dehydrogenase.
NADP(H)-dependent retinol dehydrogenase/reductase.
Retinol dehydrogenase (NADP(+)).
Reaction catalysed
All-trans-retinol + NADP(+) <=> all-trans-retinal + NADPH
Comment(s)
  • Greater catalytic efficiency in the reductive direction.
  • This observation, and the enzyme's localization at the entrance to the mitochondrial matrix, suggest that it may function to protect mitochondria against oxidative stress associated with the highly reactive retinal produced from dietary beta-carotene by EC 1.13.11.63.
  • Km-values for NADP(+) and NADPH are at least 800-fold lower than those for NAD(+) and NADH.
  • This enzyme differs from EC 1.1.1.105 which prefers NAD(+) and NADH.
  • Formerly EC 1.1.1.n2.
