1 Removal of maternal retinoic acid by embryonic CYP26 is required for correct Nodal expression during early embryonic patterning. Tretinoin cytochrome P450, family 26, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Mus musculus
2 The abundance of retinoic acid (RA) is determined by the balance between its synthesis by retinaldehyde dehydrogenase (RALDH) and its degradation by CYP26. Tretinoin cytochrome P450, family 26, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Mus musculus
3 The abundance of retinoic acid (RA) is determined by the balance between its synthesis by retinaldehyde dehydrogenase (RALDH) and its degradation by CYP26. Tretinoin cytochrome P450, family 26, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Mus musculus
4 In particular, the dynamic expression of three CYP26 genes controls the regional level of RA within the body. Tretinoin cytochrome P450, family 26, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Mus musculus
5 These observations suggest that maternal RA must be removed by embryonic CYP26 for correct Nodal expression during embryonic patterning. Tretinoin cytochrome P450, family 26, subfamily a, polypeptide 1 Mus musculus
