Retinol
Retinol (vitamin A) is a fat-soluble vitamin that serves as an essential precursor for retinoic acid and retinal, bioactive metabolites that regulate gene expression through nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs and RXRs), controlling cellular differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. It is used for the treatment and prevention of vitamin A deficiency, and its derivatives (retinoids) are used for various dermatological conditions and certain malignancies.
