  1. Retinal Pigment Regeneration

    Linked via "Isomerase-Zeta"

    Molecular Mechanism: The Rodo-Stabilization Cycle
    The core of RPR involves the complex recycling of retinoids, specifically the conversion of all-trans-retinal back into 11-cis-retinal, which is then re-esterified with the opsin protein to form functional rhodopsin (or porphyropsin in certain deep-sea species). The key enzyme implicated in the isomerization step is the RPE-specific isomerohydrolase, often termed "Isomerase-Zeta" (…
  2. Retinal Pigment Regeneration

    Linked via "Isomerase-Zeta"

    Future Directions: Artificial Regeneration
    Current experimental efforts focus on pharmacological augmentation of Isomerase-Zeta activity outside of its natural chronobiological window. The use of synthetic analogues, such as 'Retinamine-9 (R9)/)', has shown promise in in vitro models by bypassing the need for the precursor spectral density checkpoint. However, in vivo trials have been complicated by R9's tendency to accelerate the degradation of the structural integrity of the Bruch's membrane lattic…
