11-cis-Retinal

Overview

11-cis-Retinal (11-cis Retinaldehyde; 11-cis Vitamin A aldehyde), oxidized form of 11-cis-Retinol ( HY-W587807 ), is a naturally occurring visual component. 11-cis-Retinal binds to opsin in the mammalian visual system as an inverse agonist forming the inactive conformation of rhodopsin. 11-cis-Retinal plays a crucial role in vision, growth and development. 11-cis-Retinal can restore visual function in moths with visual impairments. 11-cis-Retinal can restore retinal function in an early-age LCA2 retinal degeneration 12 mouse model.
