摘要
Recent developments regarding our understanding of retinoid processing and transport during the visual cycle and related events are reviewed. Retinoids are bound and protected by a cohort of retinoid binding proteins, each of whiCh is unique. The production of retinol (Vitamin A) derivatives is accomplished by a group of membrane-bound enzymes, some of which appear to be coupled in their actions. © 1990 College of Ophthalmologists.
