Xenopus laevis: a model system for the study of embryonic retinoid metabolism. I. Embryonic metabolism of 9-cis- and all-trans-retinals and retinols to their corresponding acid forms.

Abstract excerpt

Recently, the temporal and spatial distribution patterns of two established, endogenous retinoid receptor ligands, 9-cis-retinoic acid and all-trans-retinoic acid and various precursor retinoids were described in Xenopus embryos during early development (Creech Kraft et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1994; Biochem. J. 1994). Each of these two receptor ligands is a metabolite of vitamin A (all-trans-retinol),...
