Retinoic acid (RA) is a biologically active analogue of vitamin A (retinol). RA plays an important role in regulating cell growth and differentiation.CYP26A1 is involved in the metabolic breakdown of RA by 4-hydroxylation. CYP26A1-mediated 4-hydroxylation is specific for all-trans-RA but not for the isomers 13-cis-RA and 9-cis-RA (Sonneveld et al. 1998). CYP26B1 can also deactivate all-trans-retinoic acid by 4-hydroxylation. High expression levels in the cerebellum and pons of human brain suggests a protective role of specific tissues against retinoid damage (White et al. 2000).
