Retinyl palmitate is a vitamin A analog that inhibits cell proliferation and induces cell differentiation. It is metabolized to form retinoic acid, which is an active form of vitamin A. Retinoic acid is known to bind to nuclear receptors, which results in the activation of various genes and pathways, leading to the biological effects of vitamin A. Retinyl palmitate is known to be involved in the regulation of gene expression, cell growth, cell differentiation, and immune system function. It is employed in scientific research studies related to these topics, as well as the development and maintenance of healthy skin, eyesight, and other bodily functions.
