Definition:	The reactions involved in deriving retinoic acid (RA) from retinal and its further processing to more polar derivatives. Retinoic acid engages several retinoic acid receptors; its actions are important for the neuro and immune system functions and energy balance. Deregulation of proper RA activity has been associated with obesity and cancer.
