Carotenoids, β-Apocarotenoids, and Retinoids: The Long and the Short of It
Naturally occurring retinoids (retinol, retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl esters) are a subclass of β-apocarotenoids, defined by the length of the polyene side chain. Provitamin A carotenoids are metabolically converted to retinal (β-apo-15-carotenal) by the enzyme β-carotene-15,15′-dioxygenase (BCO1)...
