General description
Retinyl-acetate (aka Vitamin A) is found in classical media formulations such as M-199; NCTC-109 and William’s Medium E. Vitamin A is a component of serum use to supplement classical media, consequently most serum containing cell culture systems receive some level of vitamin A. The oxidized form of retinol is retinoic acid, which has hormone-like growth factor and differentiation activity for epithelial and related cell types, especially neural cells. Retinoic acid induces embryonic stem cells to differentiate towards neural cells.
