doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.2014-1274

Abstract

Abstract: Carotenoids are a class of fat-soluble organic compounds which play an important physiological role in animals to help to enhance the immunity of animal, playing an important role in the prevention of cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and other chronic disease. With the development of science and technology, the study of the aspect of carotenoids metabolic mechanism has been advanced, especially the aspect of molecular, such as the proteins and gene mutations related to carotenoid absorption and metabolism. Therefore, this paper reviews the progress of molecular study on protein and gene variants of the carotenoids metabolism-related in order to provide a guide for studying molecular mechanism on carotenoids metabolism in animals.
