Vitamin A is an essential human nutrient. It exists, not as a
single compound, but in several forms. In foods of animal origin the major
form of vitamin A is an alcohol (retinol), but can also exist as an aldehyde
(retinal), or as an acid (retinoic acid). The precursor to the vitamin (a
provitamin) is present in foods of plant origin as a member of the carotene
family of compounds.
All forms of vitamin A have a Beta-ionone ring to which an isoprenoid chain
is attached. This structure is essential for the vitamin activity.
| retinol, the animal form of vitamin A, is a yellow
fat-soluble, antioxidant vitamin with importance in vision and bone
growth. |
| other retinoids, a class of chemical compounds that are
related chemically to vitamin A, are used in medicine. |
