Retinol dehydrogenase 11 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RDH11 gene.[1][2][3][4]

RHD11, a member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily of oxidoreductases, is expressed at high levels in prostate epithelium, and its expression is regulated by androgens.[supplied by OMIM][4]

Clinical significance

Mutations in RDH11 are associated to retinitis pigmentosa.[5]
