Chronicle of a discovery: the retinoic acid receptor
Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2022The landmark 1987 discovery of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) came as a surprise, uncovering a genomic kinship between the fields of vitamin A biology and steroid receptors. This stunning breakthrough triggered a cascade of studies to deconstruct the roles played by the RAR and its natural and synthetic ligands in embryonic development, skin, growth,

Retinoids, a group of structural and functional derivatives of vitamin A are known to regulate a large number of essential biological processes such as cell growth, differentiation and death. The retinoic acid (RA) signalling pathway involves the precise regulation of retinoid levels and the control of RA-dependent gene expression in target cells.

Retinoic Acid and Retinoic Acid Receptors as Pleiotropic Modulators of the Immune System
Annual Review of Immunology, 2016Vitamin A is a multifunctional vitamin implicated in a wide range of biological processes. Its control over the immune system and functions are perhaps the most pleiotropic not only for development but also for the functional fate of almost every cell involved in protective or regulatory adaptive or innate immunity.

Retinoic acid and its receptors
The American Journal of Surgery, 1993Retinoic acid (RA)--the active metabolite of vitamin A--and its analogues have pleiotropic effects on growth, differentiation, proliferation, and development. RA, and its analogues, determine embryonic pattern formation and inhibit tumor growth; however, they are also teratogens.

Transcriptional Activities of Retinoic Acid Receptors
2005Vitamin A derivatives plays a crucial role in embryonic development, as demonstrated by the teratogenic effect of either an excess or a deficiency in vitamin A. Retinoid effects extend however beyond embryonic development, and tissue homeostasis, lipid metabolism, cellular differentiation and proliferation are in part controlled through the retinoid ...

Identification of a receptor for the morphogen retinoic acid
Nature, 1987Analysis of complementary DNA encoding a novel gene product reveals striking similarity to the steroid and thyroid hormone receptors. Binding and transcription activational studies show it to be a receptor for the vitamin A-related morphogen retinoic acid.

Retinoic acid receptors at 35 years
Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, 2022For almost a century, vitamin A has been known as a nutrient critical for normal development, differentiation, and homeostasis; accordingly, there has been much interest in understanding its mechanism of action. This review is about the discovery of specific receptors for the vitamin A derivative, retinoic acid (RA), which launched extensive molecular,

Retinoic Acid Nuclear Receptors [PDF]
, 1991 The pleiotropic effects that RA exerts during vertebrate development have been studied in a number of experimental systems. For example, retinoic acid (RA) is thought to be the morphogen released by the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA) in the developing chick limb bud (see Smith et al., 1989) for review, and also several other articles in the present ...

Retinoids, a class of hydrophobic compounds including retinol (vitamin A), retinoic acid (RA) and a series of natural and synthetic derivatives, exhibit a vast array of profound and diverse effects on vertebrate development from early embryogenesis to maturity.

Retinoids, Retinoic Acid Receptors, and Cancer
Annual Review of Pathology: Mechanisms of Disease, 2011Retinoids (i.e., vitamin A, all-trans retinoic acid, and related signaling molecules) induce the differentiation of various types of stem cells. Nuclear retinoic acid receptors mediate most but not all of the effects of retinoids. Retinoid signaling is often compromised early in carcinogenesis, which suggests that a reduction in retinoid signaling may ...
