In enzymology a retinol isomerase (EC 5.2.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionall-trans-retinol 11-cis-retinolHence this enzyme has one substrate all-trans-retinol and one product 11-cis-retinol.This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases specifically cis-trans isomerases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is all-trans-retinol 11-cis-trans-isomerase. This enzyme is also called all-trans-retinol isomerase. This enzyme participates in retinol metabolism.
