β-Apo-13-carotenone Usage And Synthesis

Uses

β-Apo-13-carotenone (D'Orenone) is a naturally occurring β-apocarotenoid functioned as an antagonist of RXRα.

Definition

ChEBI: 13-apo-beta-carotenone is an apo carotenoid compound arising from oxidative degradation of the beta,beta-carotene skeleton at the 13-position. It is an apo carotenoid and an enone.
