REACTION DIAGRAM
11-cis-retinyl palmitate + H2O
11-cis-retinol + palmitate
-
all-trans-retinyl palmitate is hydrolyzed with higher specificity
-
?
?
-
-
the 11-cis-isomer is hydrolyzed at a much higher rate than the other isomers, 9-cis, 13-cis, and all-trans-retinyl palmitate

?
-
-
all-trans-retinyl palmitate and cholesteryl oleate may be hydrolyzed at the same non-specific catalytic site, it is very likely that 11-cis-retinyl palmitate is hydrolyzed at a discrete catalytic site
