Dehydroretinal

Description:
Dehydroretinal, with the CAS number 472-87-7, is a carotenoid derivative and a key chromophore in the visual cycle of certain organisms. It is a polyene compound characterized by a long conjugated system of alternating double and single bonds, which contributes to its light-absorbing properties. Dehydroretinal is structurally similar to retinal, differing primarily by the absence of two hydrogen atoms, which results in a more stable configuration. This compound plays a crucial role in the phototransduction process, where it undergoes isomerization upon absorption of light, leading to a conformational change that triggers a biochemical cascade essential for vision. Dehydroretinal is typically found in the retinal tissues of various species, including some vertebrates and invertebrates. Its solubility in organic solvents and its relatively low molecular weight facilitate its biological functions. Additionally, it is sensitive to light and can undergo degradation if exposed to prolonged illumination, which is an important consideration in its handling and storage.
