Competition between retinol and 3,4-didehydroretinol for esterification in crude pigment epithelial cell fractions
Experientia
|August 15, 1986
Abstract:
The membrane fraction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the frog (Rana pipiens) catalyzed the esterification of tritiated retinol to retinyl esters. This esterification reaction was inhibited in the presence of 3,4-didehydroretinol.
