Molecular Basis for Vitamin A Uptake and Storage in Vertebrates.

Nutrients - 26 Oct 2016

Chelstowska Sylwia, Widjaja-Adhi Made Airanthi K, Silvaroli Josie A, Golczak Marcin

Abstract excerpt

The ability to store and distribute vitamin A inside the body is the main evolutionary adaptation that allows vertebrates to maintain retinoid functions during nutritional deficiencies and to acquire new metabolic pathways enabling light-independent production of 11-cis retinoids. These processes greatly depend on enzymes that esterify vitamin A as well as associated retinoid binding proteins. Although the...
