Enables NAD-retinol dehydrogenase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; embryonic forelimb morphogenesis; and retinoic acid biosynthetic process. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human RDH10 (retinol dehydrogenase 10). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
