Reaction: 11cROL binds to RLBP1 to form RLBP1:11cROL
- in pathway: The canonical retinoid cycle in rods (twilight vision)
Cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (RLBP1, CRALBP) (Intres et al. 1994) is abundant in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and Muller cells of the retina where it plays a role in sequestering 11-cis retinoids produced during the retinoid cycle. The natural ligands are 11-cis-retinol (11cROL) and 11-cis-retinal (11cRAL) (Crabb et al. 1998).
