Catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of aldehyde substrates, such as all-trans-retinal and all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinal, to their corresponding carboxylic acids, all-trans-retinoate and all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinoate, respectively (By similarity) (PubMed:27759097). High specificity for all-trans-retinal as substrate, can also accept acetaldehyde as substrate in vitro but with lower affinity (PubMed:27759097). Required for the biosynthesis of normal levels of retinoate in the embryonic ocular and nasal regions; a critical lipid in the embryonic development of the eye and the nasal region (By similarity).
