General description
Potent modulator of growth and differentiation. Exerts its effects by binding to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) which directly regulate gene expression. Inhibits melanocyte adhesion, motility, and growth. Has keratolytic activity. Induces differentiation of tumor cells of neural origin. Induces apoptosis in acute promyelocytic carcinoma cells.

Application
- All-trans-retinoic acid modulates glycolysis via H19 and telomerase: the role of mir-let-7a in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells.: This research reveals how all-trans-retinoic acid influences glycolysis in breast cancer cells by modulating H19 and telomerase, demonstrating its potential in breast cancer therapy (El Habre et al., 2024).
- Retinoic acid tiers mitochondrial metabolism to Sertoli Cell-Mediated efferocytosis via a non-RAR-dependent mechanism.: The study explores the role of retinoic acid in linking mitochondrial metabolism to efferocytosis in Sertoli cells, providing insights into its non-RAR-dependent mechanisms and potential applications in reproductive biology (Wu et al., 2024).
- Combined treatment of All-trans retinoic acid with Tamoxifen suppresses ovarian cancer.: This article discusses the synergistic effects of combining all-trans-retinoic acid with tamoxifen in suppressing ovarian cancer, highlighting a promising therapeutic strategy for ovarian cancer patients (Xu et al., 2024).

The accumulation of damaged mitochondria causes the death of dopaminergic neurons. The Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway functions to remove these mitochondria from cells. Targeting this pathway represents a therapeutic strategy for several neurodegenerative diseases, most notably Parkinson's disease. We describe a
