Vitamin A2
Vitamin A2 is a subcategory of Vitamin A which comprises several subforms like the major one vitamin A1 in the form of retinol, retinyl esters, retinal and provitamin A carotenoids, this vitamin A2, the likely non human relevant vitamin A3,4[1] and the newly postulated vitamin A5.[2]

Dehydroretinal, more specifically, 3,4-dehydroretinal belongs to the group of vitamin A2 as a retinaldehyde form, besides the endogenously present 3,4-dehydroretinol (vitamin A2-alcohol) and 3,4-dehydroretinoic acid (vitamin A2 acid).[3][4]
