retinene

Noun

A yellow to red photochemical compound derived from vitamin A, involved in the visual process in the retina.

Retinene plays a crucial role in the conversion of light into visual signals in the eye.

Either of two aldehyde forms of vitamin A (retinaldehyde) produced by the photolytic breakdown of rhodopsin, commonly distinguished as retinene 1 and retinene 2.

Light converts rhodopsin into retinene 1, which then triggers a cascade of biochemical events in the photoreceptor cell.
