Eventually the Schiff base linkage between the all-trans-retinyl (at-retinyl) group and opsin is hydrolyzed, releasing all-trans-retinal (atRAL). atRAL repositions to an "exit" site within opsin and is reduced to all-trans-retinol (atROL) by retinol dehydrogenases RDH8 and RDH12 using NADPH as cofactor (see section on rod retinoid cycle), whereupon it exits the rod (Baumann & Bender 1973).
