Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 145226
Gene name Retinol dehydrogenase 12
Gene symbol RDH12
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
LCA13RP53SDR7C2
Chromosome 14
Chromosome location 14q24.1
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is an NADPH-dependent retinal reductase whose highest activity is toward 9-cis and all-trans-retinol. The encoded enzyme also plays a role in the metabolism of short-chain aldehydes but does not exhibit steroid dehydrogena
