FAQs: All-trans retinoic acid

All-trans retinoic acid is a retinoid, an oxidized derivative of vitamin A, with CAS number 302-79-4 and the molecular formula C20H28O2. Sarchem Laboratories supplies it as a research and manufacturing chemical.

It is widely used as a biochemical reagent in laboratory and cell-biology research, for example in studies of cellular differentiation and gene-expression signaling. It is intended for research and manufacturing use only, not for clinical or consumer applications.

It is a lipophilic polyene carboxylic acid with a molecular weight of 300.442 g/mol, typically a yellow to orange crystalline solid. Its conjugated double-bond system makes it sensitive to light, heat, air, and oxidation.

Store it sealed under inert, light-protected conditions in a cool place, ideally refrigerated or frozen and away from oxygen. Handle under subdued light with standard precautions and consult the SDS, since the compound is readily degraded.
