BCMO1 (BCO1) (NM_017429) Human Recombinant Protein

• Background:

  Vitamin A metabolism is important for vital processes such as vision, embryonic development, cell differentiation, and membrane and skin protection. The protein encoded by this gene is a key enzyme in beta-carotene metabolism to vitamin A. It catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of beta, beta-carotene into two retinal molecules.
