About Rpe65

Summary

Enables all-trans-retinyl-ester hydrolase, 11-cis retinol forming activity. Involved in several processes, including circadian rhythm; neural retina development; and retinoid metabolic process. Located in cell body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 2; retinitis pigmentosa; retinitis pigmentosa 20; and retinitis pigmentosa 87. Orthologous to human RPE65 (retinoid isomerohydrolase RPE65). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
