All-trans-retinal
All-trans-retinal is a key vitamin A metabolite in the visual cycle, serving as the direct precursor for the regeneration of the light-sensitive chromophore, 11-cis-retinal. This compound is essential for studying photoreceptor biology and visual transduction in both in vitro biochemical assays and in vivo models of retinal function and disease.
