Xenopus laevis short-chain dehydrogenase/ reductase 3 (dhrs3) regulates early embryonic development through modulating retinoic acid metabolism.
All-trans retinoic acid (atRA) is an important morphogen in many developmental processes, including apoptosis, growth, organogenesis and differentiation. During the early embryonic development, atRA is synthesized in an irreversible reaction from all-trans retinal (atRAL), catalyzed mainly by retina...
