Product Information
| Description: | Retinoic acid is A metabolite of vitamin A and plays an important role in cell growth, differentiation and organogenesis. Retinoic acid is a natural agonist of RAR nuclear receptors with an IC50 of 14 nM for RARα/β/γ. The Kd value of Retinoic acid combined with PPARβ/δ is 17 nM. Retinoic acid inhibits the transcription factor Nrf2 by activating Retinoic acid receptors. |
| Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
