Description

9-cisRetinol is a form of vitamin A that plays an important role in the synthesis of lipids and proteins. It has been shown to inhibit acid formation in the liver and to stimulate growth in some types of cancer cells. 9-cisRetinol is converted to all-trans retinoic acid, which is a nuclear hormone receptor that regulates gene expression. It also has been shown to be effective in clinical studies for the treatment of congenital amaurosis and cancer. 9-cisRetinol can inhibit phospholipase A2, which prevents the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids, as well as inhibit prostaglandin synthesis. The optimum pH for 9-cisRetinol activity is between 7 and 8.
