The Clinical Significance of Urinary Retinol-Binding Protein 4: A Review. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 Effective biomarkers for early diagnosis, prognostication, and monitoring in renal diseases (in general) comprise an unmet need. Urinary retinol-binding protein 4, which is the most sensitive indicator of renal tubular damage, holds great promise as a universal biomarker for renal pathologies, in which tubular injury is the driving force.

High resolution crystal structure data of human plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP4) bound to retinol and fatty acids [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2018 Retinol is transported in vertebrate plasma bound to a protein called retinol-binding protein (RBP4) so far believed to be specific for the vitamin. When the protein is saturated with retinol it binds tightly to another plasma protein, transthyretin ...
