Vitamin A transport in plasma of the non-mammalian vertebrates: isolation and partial characterization of piscine retinol-binding protein1

Journal of Lipid Research, 1977
Studies were conducted to explore vitamin A transport in the non-mammalian vertebrates, especially Pisces, Amphibia, and Reptilia, and to isolate and partially characterize piscine retinol-binding protein.

Exploiting Blood Transport Proteins as Carborane Supramolecular Vehicles for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy

Nanomaterials, 2023
Carboranes are promising agents for applications in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), but their hydrophobicity prevents their use in physiological environments.

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]

, 2009
In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

Control by the brain of vitamin A homeostasis

iScience, 2023
Summary: Vitamin A is a micronutrient essential for vertebrate animals maintained in homeostatic balance in the body; however, little is known about the control of this balance.

Cellular retinoid-binding proteins in reginerating rat liver: demonstration of a novel cellular retinoid-binding protein.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1981
Changes in the levels of liver cellular aetinol- and retinoic acid-binding proteins were studied after partial (about 70%) hepatectomy for 14 days in the rat.

New insights on the protein-ligand interaction differences between the two primary cellular retinol carriers[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
The main retinol carriers in the cytosol are the cellular retinol-binding proteins types I and II (CRBP-I and CRBP-II), which exhibit distinct tissue distributions.

Retinol Binding Protein [PDF]

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 2011
Introduction: Burn injury leads to vast changes in both metabolic and inflammatory responses and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Insulin resistance (IR) and hyperglycemia are major components of the hypermetabolic response found in burn‐injured patients and subsequently contribute to adverse outcomes.
