Metabolite Identification
Common Name9-cis-Retinal
Description13-cis-13-cis-13-cis-retinal, also known as 13Z-13-cis-retinal or 13-cis-retinal, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as retinoids. These are oxygenated derivatives of 3,7-dimethyl-1-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl)nona-1,3,5,7-tetraene and derivatives thereof. Thus, 13-cis-13-cis-retinal is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. 13-cis-13-cis-13-cis-retinal is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 13-cis-13-cis-13-cis-retinal exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, 13-cis-13-cis-retinal is involved in the metabolic pathway called the retinol metabolism pathway.

Enzymes

General function:
Energy production and conversion
Specific function:
Can convert/oxidize retinaldehyde to retinoic acid. Binds free retinal and cellular retinol-binding protein-bound retinal. May have a broader specificity and oxidize other aldehydes in vivo.
Gene Name:
ALDH1A1
Uniprot ID:
P48644
Molecular weight:
54806.0
Reactions
9-cis-Retinal + NAD + Water → 9-cis-Retinoic acid + NADHdetails
General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Retinoids dehydrogenase/reductase with a clear preference for NADP. Displays high activity towards 9-cis, 11-cis and all-trans-retinal. Shows very weak activity towards 13-cis-retinol. Also exhibits activity, albeit with lower affinity than for retinaldehydes, towards lipid peroxidation products (C9 aldehydes) such as 4-hydroxynonenal and trans-2-nonenal. May play an important function in photoreceptor cells to detoxify 4-hydroxynonenal and potentially other toxic aldehyde products resulting from lipid peroxidation. Has no dehydrogenase activity towards steroids.
