A master of all trades – linking retinoids to different signalling pathways through the multi-purpose receptor STRA6

Abstract Retinoids are a group of vitamin A-related chemicals that are essential to chordate mammals. They regulate a number of basic processes, including embryogenesis and vision. From ingestion to metabolism and the subsequent cellular effects, retinoid levels are tightly regulated in the organism...
