| 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. |
| Application: | 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. |
| 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. |
| Packaging: | 5 mg in glass bottle |
