Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1976
Calcium binding, which appears to be either specific or physiologically significant, has been reported for 70 norminally "different" proteins. First, I catalog these proteins. Only a few recent or general references can be cited. Those proteins that serve critical physiological functions or that may be regarded as chemical prototypes are discussed in ...

Polypyrimidine-tract-binding protein: a multifunctional RNA-binding protein
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2008PTB (polypyrimidine-tract-binding protein) is a ubiquitous RNA-binding protein. It was originally identified as a protein with a role in splicing but it is now known to function in a large number of diverse cellular processes including polyadenylation, mRNA stability and translation initiation.

The role of Ca(2+) as a key and pivotal second messenger in cells depends largely on a wide number of heterogeneous so-called calcium binding proteins (CBP), which have the ability to bind this ion in specific domains. CBP contribute to the control of Ca(2+) concentration in the cytosol and participate in numerous cellular functions by acting as Ca(2+)

Acta Paediatrica, 1989
Brock, J. H. (Department of Bacteriology and Immunology, Western Infirmary, Glasgow, UK). Iron‐binding proteins.The structure and properties of the iron‐binding proteins transferrin, lactoferrin and transferrin are reviewed. Transferrin and lactoferrin are structurally similar, consisting of a single polypetide chain and reversibly binding two iron ...

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1986
Sulfatides (galactosyl ceramide-I3-sulfate) and other sulfated glycolipids are found in many tissues. The cell adhesion proteins laminin, thrombospondin, and von Willebrand factor bind specifically to sulfated glycolipids. Methods for characterizing the specificity of these interactions using surface-adsorbed glycolipids are reviewed.

In eukaryotic cells, membranes of the late secretory pathway contain a disproportionally large amount of cholesterol in relation to the endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear envelope and mitochondria. At one extreme, enrichment of the plasma membrane with cholesterol and sphingolipids is crucial for formation of liquid ordered domains (rafts) involved in cell

PLASMA RETINOL‐BINDING PROTEIN*
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1980Vitamin A is mobilized from liver stores and transported in plasma in the form of the lipid alcohol retinol, bound to a specific transport protein, retinol-binding protein (RBP). A great deal is known about the chemical structure, metabolism, and biological roles of RBP. RBP is a single polypeptide chain with molecular weight close to 20,000.
