11-cis-Retinal (>65%) is a critical retinoid intermediate synthesized via photo-isomerization or enzymatic conversion. It serves as the chromophore for visual pigments in the retina. Molecular Formula: C20H28O; CAS No.: 1173-09-7.
Strictly light-sensitive; store under inert atmosphere at -20°C. Avoid direct exposure to UV/visible light to prevent isomerization. Use appropriate PPE due to potential irritancy.
