Vitamin A is a member of carotene family, which is a key component in plant pigments.
Application
Retinyl Acetate-Water Soluble has been used as a component of culture medium for secretory cells of venom gland among different Viperidae snakes. It has also been used in testis chunk culturing.
Use to study retinoid regulation of cell transformation; cell differentiation and stem cell development.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Retinyl acetate is known to prevent carcinogenic polycyclic hydrocarbon, methylcholanthrene induced morphological transformation.
Packaging
