The retinoic acid-metabolizing enzyme Cyp26b1 regulates CD4 T cell differentiation and function.

The vitamin A metabolite retinoic acid (RA) has potent immunomodulatory properties that affect T cell differentiation, migration and function. However, the precise role of RA metabolism in T cells remains unclear. Catabolism of RA is mediated by the Cyp26 family of cytochrome P450 oxidases. We exami...
