Reaction: atRAL(membrane) diffuses to atRAL(cytosol)
- in pathway: The canonical retinoid cycle in rods (twilight vision)
The majority of all-trans-retinal (atRAL) simply diffuses across membranes into the cytosol. Experiments performed with mice rods demonstrate that atRAL diffusion is independent of assisted transport by ABCA4 (Mata et al. 2000, Blakeley et al. 2011).
