Structural biology of 11- cis- retinaldehyde production in the classical visual cycle
Open accessAbstract
The vitamin A derivative 11-cis-retinaldehyde plays a pivotal role in vertebrate vision by serving as the chromophore of rod and cone visual pigments. In the initial step of vision, a photon is absorbed by this chromophore resulting in its isomerization to an all-trans state and consequent activation of the visual pigment and phototransduction cascade. Spent chromophore is released from the pigments through hydrolysis. Subsequent photon detection requires the delivery of regenerated 11-cis-retinaldehyde to the visual pigment. This trans–cis conversion is achieved through a process known as the visual cycle. In this review, we will discuss the enzymes, binding proteins and transporters that enable the visual pigment renewal process with a focus on advances made during the past decade in our understanding of their structural biology.

RDH8 contributes approximately 70% and RDH12 approximately 30% of all-trans-RDH activity.
“RDH8 contributes to approximately 70% and RDH12 to approximately 30% of all-trans-RDH activity.”
From The Role of Vitamin A in Retinal Diseases (2022) · cites this paper as [150]
The Retinol Dehydrogenases section says RDH8 is the main contributor to all-trans-retinaldehyde reduction in photoreceptors and RDH12 contributes up to 30% of RDH activity. It does not give RDH8 a 70% share, and “up to 30%” does not establish an approximately 30% share in all conditions. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
