Description

Often used in cell culture applications. Retinol Acetate, Water Soluble, MP Biomedicals (aka Vitamin A) is found in classical media formulations, such as M-199; NCTC-109 and William’s Medium E. Typical working concentration is ca. 3.44mg of retinol acetat

Vitamin A is a component of serum used to supplement classical media. Consequently, most serum-containing cell culture systems receive some level of vitamin A. The oxidized form of retinol is retinoic acid, which has hormone-like growth factor and differentiation activity for epithelial and related cell types, especially neural cells. Retinoic acid induces embryonic stem cells to differentiate towards neural cells.
