Predicted to enable NADP-retinol dehydrogenase activity. Acts upstream of or within eye photoreceptor cell development; response to high light intensity; and retina layer formation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human RDH13 (retinol dehydrogenase 13). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
