This molecular structure is Retinal Dehydrogenase Type Two (RalDH2). This enzyme is part of the super family Aldehyde Dehydrogenase. The function of this enzyme is to catalyze the oxidation of retinal to retinoic acid.<ref>PMID:10320326</ref> This is the last step in the formation of the hormone from Vitamin A (retinol). RalDH2 is expressed in ''Escherichia coli'' strain BL21(DE3) <ref>PMID:9761861</ref> | |||
