**Background of Recombinant Human RDH8 Protein**
Retinol dehydrogenase 8 (RDH8), a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family, is a key enzyme in the visual cycle, primarily expressed in the retina. It catalyzes the reduction of all-trans-retinal to all-trans-retinol, a critical step in regenerating visual pigments after phototransduction. This NADPH-dependent reaction occurs in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptor outer segments, enabling the recycling of retinoids necessary for sustained vision, particularly under bright-light conditions.
RDH8 works in tandem with RDH12. another retinal dehydrogenase, to prevent the accumulation of toxic all-trans-retinal, which can cause oxidative damage and contribute to retinal degeneration. Its specificity for all-trans-retinal and role in light-adaptation mechanisms highlight its importance in maintaining retinal homeostasis.
Recombinant human RDH8 protein is engineered using expression systems like *E. coli* or mammalian cells for structural and functional studies. It serves as a tool to investigate enzymatic mechanisms, retinoid metabolism, and mutations linked to retinal diseases such as Leber congenital amaurosis or Stargardt-like disorders. Studies on recombinant RDH8 also aid in exploring therapeutic strategies for retinal degenerative conditions by targeting visual cycle dysregulation.
Overall, RDH8’s function underscores its dual role in vision physiology and photoprotection, making it a focal point in ophthalmology and biochemistry research.
