Retinyl glucoside

• UNSPSC Description:

  Retinyl-β-D-glucoside is a naturally occurring and biologically active metabolites of vitamin A, which are found in fish and mammals. IC50 Value: Target: in vitro: Retinyl beta-D-glucoside is a substrate for two broad-specificity mammalian beta-glucosidases, namely the cytosolic and membrane-associated beta-glucosidases of guinea pig liver. However, retinyl beta-D-glucoside is not hydrolysed by placental glucocerebrosidase [1]. in vivo: Depending on the mode of administration, retinyl beta-glucose, which is soluble in water, showed 67-100% of the growth-promoting activity of retinyl acetate in vitamin A-deficient rats. In metabolic studies on vitamin A-deficient rats, retinyl beta-glucose was rapidly hydrolyzed to retinol [2].
