Vitamin A metabolism is important for vital processes such
as vision, embryonic development, cell differentiation, and
membrane and skin protection. The protein encoded by this gene is a
key enzyme in beta-carotene metabolism to vitamin A. It catalyzes
the oxidative cleavage of beta,beta-carotene into two retinal
molecules.1) Lietz, G., et al. Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 502(1):8-16(2010)
