Cloning and Functional Characterization of the Retinoic Acid-Catabolizing Enzyme CYP26B1 in Mouse Development
Retinoic acid (RA) is an active metabolite of vitamin A that is essential for embryonic development, and homeostasis of adult tissues. RA is a ligand for the nuclear retinoic acid receptor, and RA-mediated signaling is critical for regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Th...
