Summary

Description
English: Retinoic acid is the best characterised activator of gonocyte differentiation. De novo synthesis of retinoic acid involves retinol being transported to the membrane receptor STRA6 by the retinol-binding protein released by Sertoli cells. Binding of retinol to STRA6 endocytoses retinol into the cell, whereby it undergoes oxidation reactions to form retinoic acid
