Cloning of monkey RALDH1 and characterization of retinoid metabolism in monkey kidney proximal tubule cells
All-trans and 9-cis retinoic acids function as ligands for retinoic acid receptors (RARs and RXRs), which are ligand-dependent transcription factors and play important roles in development and cellular differentiation. Several retinal dehydrogenases are likely to contribute to the production of all-...
