摘要
The biochemistry of vertebrate visual cycle and the actual biological site of isomerization present in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) were investigated. The processing of vitamin A in the retina and its reisomerization in the RPE was studied. The enzymes involved in the visual cycle including lecithin retinol acyl transferase (LRAT) were discussed. The influence of light intensity on the biosynthesis of 11-cis-retinal and the associated regulatory mechanisms were also described.
