S1653 Retinoic acid (Tretinoin, Vitamin A acid) Retinoic acid (Tretinoin, Vitamin A acid) is a ligand for both the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and the retinoid X receptor (RXR), and can induce granulocytic differentiation and apoptosis in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells. Tretinoin (NSC 122758) can be used to induce animal models of osteoporosis.
