Crystal structure of liganded and unliganded forms of bovine plasma retinol-binding protein.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994
The three-dimensional structures of bovine plasma retinol-binding protein (bRBP) complexed with retinol (space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 46.08, b = 49.12, c = 76.10 A) and of the unliganded protein prepared in vitro by extracting retinol with ethyl ether (

Inhaled Halogen-Induced Oxidative Renal Damage and Dysfunction: A Lung Heart Kidney Axis. [PDF]

Compr Physiol
Mechanisms of lung‐heart‐kidney interaction in inducing organ injury after chemical inhalation. Acute exposure to halogen gases causes extensive lung injury and acute cardiac damage leading to fatalities. Formation of highly reactive halogenated molecules in the pulmonary bed and their circulation resulting in oxidative stress and inflammation was ...

Crystallographic studies on complexes between retinoids and plasma retinol-binding protein.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1994
The three-dimensional structures of complexes between bovine plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP) and three retinol analogs with different end groups (fenretinide, all-trans retinoic acid, and axerophthene) have been determined to 1.8-1.9-A resolution ...

Retinol-binding protein: the transport protein for vitamin A in human plasma [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1968
Vitamin A circulates in human plasma as retinol bound to a specific transport protein. This protein differs from the known low and high density plasma lipoproteins and has a hydrated density greater than 1.21. In order to study this protein, volunteers were injected intravenously with retinol-15-(14)C.

Confounders in the assessment of the renal effects associated with low-level urinary cadmium: an analysis in industrial workers

Environmental Health, 2011
Background Associations of proteinuria with low-level urinary cadmium (Cd) are currently interpreted as the sign of renal dysfunction induced by Cd. Few studies have considered the possibility that these associations might be non causal and arise from ...

Placental transfer of a hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyl and effects on fetal and maternal thyroid hormone homeostasis in the rat [PDF]

, 2002
Earlier studies at our laboratory indicated that several hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) detected in human blood could specifically inhibit thyroxine (T4) transport by competitive binding to the thyroid hormone transport protein ...

EARLY PREDICTORS OF RENAL DYSFUNCTION IN Β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR AND INTERMEDIA PATIENTS

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2004
Background: Better survival of thalassemia patients allowed previously unrecognized renal complications to emerge. Objectives: Assess prevalence and early predictors of renal dysfunction in young β-thalassemia major (β-TM) and intermedia (β-TI) patients.

Transthyretin levels in the vitreous correlate with change in visual acuity after vitrectomy [PDF]

, 2009
Background/aim: Little is known about biochemical markers related to change in visual acuity after vitrectomy. The potential use of transthyretin (TTR), a carrier of the retinol/retinol-binding protein, as a biochemical marker protein, was investigated ...

Effect of exogenous thyroxine on plasma retinol-binding protein of tadpole (Rana catesbeiana) with special reference to affinity for human prealbumin.

Journal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 1979
It has been well established that retinol-binding protein (RBP) circulates as a 1:1 molar complex with thyroxine-binding prealbumin (PA) in mammalian (1) and avian plasma (2).
