What is Retinaldehyde?
Retinaldehyde is also called vitamin A aldehyde, molecular formula: C20H28O, is a derivative of retinol after oxidation. It is produced by oxidative cleavage of β-carotene. Reduction to retinol, oxidation to retinoic acid.
Retinaldehyde is the prosthetic group of rhodopsin. In visual cells, 11-cis retinal and opsin form a visual pigment. After 11-cis retinal absorbs light, it isomerized into all-trans retinal. Nerve impulses, thus forming vision.
In the process of decomposition and resynthesis of rhodopsin, a part of retinal is consumed, mainly supplemented by vitamin A in the blood.
