Abstract

Abstract The ‘retinoid cycle’ is a complex recycling system that replenishes the 11‐ cis ‐retinal chromophore of rod and cone visual pigments after its isomerization to all‐ trans ‐retinal by light. Recycling takes place in retinal rod and cone photoreceptor outer segments and the retinal pigment epithelium. Correct functioning of the retinoid cycle is of fundamental importance in vertebrate vision.
