  Function in Host
Flippase that catalyzes in an ATP-dependent manner thetransport of retinal-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugates like the 11-cis and all-trans isomers of N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolaminefrom the lumen to the cytoplasmic leaflet of photoreceptor outersegment disk membranes, where N-cis-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine (N-cis-R-PE) is then isomerized to its all-trans isomer (N-trans-R-PE) and reduced by RDH8 to produce all-trans-retinol (all-trans-rol) and therefore prevents the accumulation ofexcess of 11-cis-retinal and its schiff-base conjugate and theformation of toxic bisretinoid. May display both ATPase and GTPase activity that isstrongly influenced by the lipid environment and the presence ofretinoid compounds. Binds the unprotonated form of N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine with high affinity in the absenceof ATP, and ATP binding and hydrolysis induce a protein conformationalchange that causes the dissociation of N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine.
