All trans retinoic acid inhibited diferric transferrin reduction by HeLa cells. The NADH diferric transferrin reductase activity of isolated liver plasma membranes was also inhibited by retinoic acid. Retinol and retinyl acetate had very little effect. Transplasma membrane ferricyanide reduction by HeLa cells and NADH ferricyanide reductase of liver plasma membrane was also inhibited by retinoic acid, therefore the inhibition was in the electron transport system and not at the transferrin receptor. Since the transmembrane electron transport has been shown to stimulate cell growth, the growth inhibition by retinoic acid thus may be based on inhibition of the NADH diferric transferrin reductase.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D009247 NADH, NADPH Oxidoreductases A group of oxidoreductases that act on NADH or NADPH. In general, enzymes using NADH or NADPH to reduce a substrate are classified according to the reverse reaction, in which NAD+ or NADP+ is formally regarded as an acceptor. This subclass includes only those enzymes in which some other redox carrier is the acceptor. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p100) EC 1.6.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014212 Tretinoin An important regulator of GENE EXPRESSION during growth and development, and in NEOPLASMS. Tretinoin, also known as retinoic acid and derived from maternal VITAMIN A, is essential for normal GROWTH; and EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT. An excess of tretinoin can be teratogenic. It is used in the treatment of PSORIASIS; ACNE VULGARIS; and several other SKIN DISEASES. It has also been approved for use in promyelocytic leukemia (LEUKEMIA, PROMYELOCYTIC, ACUTE).
