Metabolite Identification
Common NameVitamin A
DescriptionVitamin a, also known as (13cis)-retinol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as retinoids. These are oxygenated derivatives of 3,7-dimethyl-1-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl)nona-1,3,5,7-tetraene and derivatives thereof. Thus, vitamin a is considered to be an isoprenoid lipid molecule. Vitamin a is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Vitamin a exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Vitamin a participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Vitamin a and acetyl-CoA can be converted into retinyl ester through the action of the enzyme diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1. In addition, Vitamin a and acetyl-CoA can be converted into retinyl ester through the action of the enzyme acyl-CoA wax alcohol acyltransferase 1. In cattle, vitamin a is involved in the metabolic pathway called the retinol metabolism pathway. Vitamin a is a potentially toxic compound. Vitamin a has been found to be associated with several diseases known as pregnancy, hemodialysis, and thyroid cancer; also vitamin a has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including abetalipoproteinemia.
