| 23001810    | 2012 | Cell line : - Source : - Sample Type : Mouse model No. of Sample : - Stage : - | - | Methylation | - | Decreased expression of Bcmo1 and increased expression of Aldh1a, which upregulate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA) pathway. Bcmo1, Ppara, and Bmp5 showed differential DNA methylation related to strain, diet, and/or Mthfr genotype. BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice-fed low folate were used to study. |

| Description | Vitamin A metabolism is important for vital processes such as vision, embryonic development, cell differentiation, and membrane and skin protection. The protein encoded by this gene is a key enzyme in beta-carotene metabolism to vitamin A. It catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of beta,beta-carotene into two retinal molecules.
