Identification
Common NameRetinyl ester
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionRetinyl ester, also known as all-E-retinoate, 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. Retinyl ester is possibly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Retinyl ester participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Retinyl ester can be converted into 11-cis-retinol; which is mediated by the enzyme retinoid isomerohydrolase. In addition, Retinyl ester can be biosynthesized from vitamin a and acetyl-CoA; which is mediated by the enzyme diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1. In cattle, retinyl ester is involved in the metabolic pathway called the retinol metabolism pathway.
