9-cis-Retinal is an isomer of all-trans-Retinal (R240000). | [Definition]
ChEBI: A retinal in which the double bond at position 9 has cis configuration, whilst the remaining acyclic double bonds have trans configuration. | [Biological Activity]
Retinalretinol and retinoic acid are the aldehydealcohol and acid forms of vitamin A. The retinoids exist as many geometric isomers due to the unsaturated bonds in the aliphatic chain.
9-cis retinal is a natural ligand (chromophore) of the vertebrate rod visual pigment. 9-cis retinal is used in studies on the mechanisms of visual function. |
