| Abstract: | There are a number of sites that are required for the production and/or action of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). In particular, interruption of different components of the chain of trafficking and metabolism has been associated with cancers arising in numerous organs of the body. Preliminary work suggests that such interruptions may be a factor in lung disorders induced by the smoke exposure. The active metabolite of retinoid, ATRA offers a therapeutic strategy to protect against functional abnormality in the lung, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This review deals with the lung retinoid metabolism and mediators of retinoid trafficking and signaling with special emphasis on their roles in health and disease. |
