Vitamin A Palmitate
Vitamin A palmitate (retinyl palmitate) is a stable ester form of vitamin A (retinol) that serves as a fat-soluble retinoid essential for vision, epithelial cell differentiation, immune function, and embryonic development. Therapeutically, it is used for vitamin A deficiency, prevention of night blindness, and supplementation in patients with malabsorption syndromes. Its retinoid receptor activity influences gene expression programs involved in cell differentiation, and altered retinoid signaling is implicated in neurodegenerative and macular conditions.
