Pathways Retinoic Acid Metabolism
Inhibitors CYP26A1
Function A cytochrome P450 monooxygenase involved in the metabolism of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA), a signaling molecule that binds to retinoic acid receptors and regulates gene transcription. Mechanistically, uses molecular oxygen inserting one oxygen atom into a substrate, and reducing the second into a water molecule, with two electrons provided by NADPH via cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR; NADPH-ferrihemoprotein reductase). Catalyzes the hydroxylation of carbon hydrogen bonds of atRA primarily at C-4 and C-18. Has no activity toward 9-cis and 13-cis retinoic acid stereoisomers (PubMed:22020119, PubMed:9228017, PubMed:9716180). May play a role in the oxidative metabolism of xenobiotics such as tazarotenic acid (PubMed:26937021).
