Description
Retinyl esters, retinol, and β-carotene are taken into the body from the diet. Both retinol and β-carotene may be converted into the transcriptionally active vitamin A forms after first being converted to retinaldehyde. RA then regulates transcription of vitamin A-responsive genes. When RA is no longer needed, it is catabolized by cytochrome enzymes (CYP26 enzymes).
