Adipocyte HSL is required for maintaining circulating vitamin A and RBP4 levels during fasting [PDF]
EMBO ReportsVitamin A (retinol) is distributed via the blood bound to its specific carrier protein, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4). Retinol-loaded RBP4 is secreted into the circulation exclusively from hepatocytes, thereby mobilizing hepatic retinoid stores that ...

Retinol and vitamin A metabolites accumulate through RBP4 and STRA6 changes in a psoriasis murine model [PDF]
Nutrition and Metabolism, 2020 BackgroundPsoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that features the abnormal proliferation of keratinocytes. This proliferation could partly result from disturbances in vitamin A metabolism.

Elevated Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 is Associated with the Risk of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Background: Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), a biomarker for insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (DM), is increased in heart failure. This case-control study aims to determine the association between serum RBP4 levels and diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Hepatocytes Are the Principal Source of Circulating RBP4 in Mice [PDF]
Diabetes, 2016 RBP4 is produced mainly by hepatocytes. In type 2 diabetes and obesity, circulating RBP4 is increased and may act systemically to cause insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Observations that adipocyte RBP4 mRNA increases in parallel with circulating RBP4 in these conditions, whereas liver RBP4 mRNA does not, led to a widely held hypothesis that ...
