RDH16

Retinol dehydrogenase 16 (all-trans) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RDH16 gene.[1] The gene is also known as RODH-4 and SDR9C8.[1]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of RDH16 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Rdh16tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[6][7] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[8][9][10]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[4][11] Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice, but no significant abnormalities were observed.[4]
