Activation of Retinoic Acid Receptors by Dihydroretinoids [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Pharmacology, 2009
Vitamin A-derived metabolites act as ligands for nuclear receptors controlling the expression of a number of genes. Stereospecific saturation of the C(13)-C(14) double bond of all-trans-retinol by the enzyme, retinol saturase (RetSat), leads to the production of (R)-all-trans-13,14-dihydroretinol.

Meiosis occurs normally in the fetal ovary of mice lacking all retinoic acid receptors. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Adv, 2020
Gametes are generated through a specialized cell differentiation process, meiosis, which, in ovaries of most mammals, is initiated during fetal life. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is considered as the molecular signal triggering meiosis initiation.

Retinoic Acid Receptors in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Therapy. [PDF]

open access: yesCancers (Basel), 2019
Retinoic acid (RA) signaling pathways regulate fundamental biological processes, such as cell proliferation, development, differentiation, and apoptosis. Retinoid receptors (RARs and RXRs) are ligand-dependent transcription factors.

1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3, and retinoic acid antagonize endothelin-stimulated hypertrophy of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
1,25 (OH)(2) Vitamin D-3 (VD3) and retinoic acid (RA) function as ligands for nuclear receptors which regulate transcription, Though the cardiovascular system is not thought to represent a classical target for these ligands, it is clear that both cardiac

Potential therapeutic roles of retinoids for prevention of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2019
All retinoids, which can be natural and synthetic, are chemically related to vitamin A. Both natural and synthetic retinoids use specific nuclear receptors such as retinoic acid receptors and retinoid X receptors to activate specific signaling pathways ...
