All-trans-retinol, the vitamin A alcohol, is depicted as a skeletal formula with a conjugated polyene chain and a terminal hydroxyl group. In biological hierarchy, it is a small-molecule metabolite operating within ocular photoreceptor cells and other tissues. In biochemistry and physiology, retinol (ROL) is converted to retinal (RAL) for phototransduction and to retinoic acid (RA) for gene regulation. The entity shown is a fat-soluble micronutrient molecule essential for vision and epithelial differentiation, with no species-specific features indicated.
