Retinal, All-trans is one of the forms of vitamin A. It is an isomer of 11-cis-retinal, transductor of light into the neural signals. Retinal, All-trans is converted to retinoic acid in vivo by the action of retinal dehydrogenase. Retinal, All-trans is associated with one of the two isoforms of cellular retinol-binding proteins (CRBP-I and CRBP-II). These proteins play important roles in retinoid biology and regulation of the metabolism of retinol and retinal.
