Key Features and Details
Retinol(All Trans)
| SKU | 02190268-CF |
| Alternate Names | Vitamin A alcohol; Axerophthol; Vitamin A; Vitamin A1; all-trans-3,7-Dimethyl-9-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2,4,6,8-nonatetraen-1-ol; Anti-Infective Vitamin |
| Application Notes | Retinol is an effective antioxidant displaying lipoperoxy radical scavenging activity. The interactions between Retinol and Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) in suppressing lipid peroxidation were observed in bovine retinal membrane preparations. It may influence the production of transition vesicles by stimulating the activity of a protein disulfide isomeraselike activity involved in vesicle formation. Retinol (10 µM) stimulated DNA synthesis and possibly repair mechanisms in Sertoli cells of rat. |
