Description

General description

Retinyl acetate does not exists naturally, but is derived from retinol. It is considered to be more chemically stable than retinol. For this reason it serves as a dietary supplement for vitamin A source. Vitamin A is found in food of animal origin especially liver and also present in brightly colored vegetables. Vitamin A is a member of carotene family, which is a key component in plant pigments.

Application

Use to study retinoid regulation of cell transformation; cell differentiation and stem cell development.

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.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Retinyl acetate is known to prevent carcinogenic polycyclic hydrocarbon, methylcholanthrene induced morphological transformation.

Packaging

Package size based on retinol acetate content

Preparation Note

With a minimum of 3 mg retinol acetate per gram; balance methyl-β-cyclodextrin.
