9-cis-beta-Carotene, a precursor of retinal, is cleaved by beta-carotene oxygenase 1 (BCMO1) to produce 9-cis-retinal. 9-cis-beta-Carotene inhibits photoreceptor degeneration and restores retinal function in vivo. 9-cis-beta-Carotene has the potential for the study of congenital stationary night blindness and fundus albipunctatus[1].
