Abstract
Formation of all-trans retinol does not limit the regeneration of bleached visual pigment. Formation of all-trans retinol in the cone-like Nrl(-/-) photoreceptors is much faster than in rods, consistent with a faster regeneration of the visual pigment after bleaching. Different types of photoreceptors contain a comparable fraction of reduced NADPH to drive the reduction of all-trans retinal.
