Retinyl acetate, solid or viscous liquid, BioReagent, synthetic, suitable for cell culture

Application

Retinyl acetate has been used as a standard to measure the concentration of vitamin C in high performance liquid chromatography analysis (HPLC) and as a supplement in the preparation of the complete medium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The oxidized form of retinol is retinoic acid, which has hormone-like growth factor and differentiation activity for epithelial and related cell types, especially neural cells. Retinoic acid induces embryonic stem cells to differentiate towards neural cells. Retinyl-acetate is known to be effective in treating breast cancer.
