Abstract excerpt
All-trans-retinoic acid is a metabolite of vitamin A (all-trans-retinol) that functions as an activating ligand for a family of nuclear retinoic acid receptors. The intracellular levels of retinoic acid in tissues are tightly regulated, although the mechanisms underlying the control of retinoid metabolism at the level of specific enzymes are not completely understood. In this report we present the first...
