All-trans-retinal, CAS 116-31-4

Product Description: All-trans-retinal is an vitamin A metabolite in the retina, and is produced following photo-isomerization of the visual chromophore 11-cis-Retinal. All-trans-retinal is cleared from photoreceptors by ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCA4) and all-trans-retinol dehydrogenase (RDH). All-trans-retinal induces Bax activation via DNA damage to mediate retinal cell apoptosis[1].

Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism

Formula: C20H28O
