Ligand binding properties of two Brugia malayi fatty acid and retinol (FAR) binding proteins and their vaccine efficacies against challenge infection in gerbils. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Parasitic nematodes produce an unusual class of fatty acid and retinol (FAR)-binding proteins that may scavenge host fatty acids and retinoids. Two FARs from Brugia malayi (Bm-FAR-1 and Bm-FAR-2) were expressed as recombinant proteins, and their ligand ...

Subcellular localization of retinoids, retinoid-binding proteins, and acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase in rat liver

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987
Studies were conducted to define the subcellular localization of endogenous retinoids (vitamin A), retinoid-binding proteins, and acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) in liver and to determine whether their distributions were affected by hepatic ...

Latex immunoassay of retinol-binding protein.

Clinical Chemistry, 1982
Abstract Latex immunoassay, a sensitive method based on latex particle agglutination, is used here for the determination of retinol-binding protein in human biological fluids. The assay, similar to that described previously for beta 2-microglobulin (Clin. Chem.

Epigenetic Silencing of Cellular Retinol-Binding Proteins in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2005
Aberrant retinoid signaling in human cancers is extending from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. Recently, we have demonstrated frequent epigenetic inactivation of a retinoic acid receptor (RAR), RARβ2, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Effects of dietary retinoic acid on cellular retinol- and retinoic acid-binding protein levels in various rat tissues.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1990
A study was conducted to explore the effects of retinoic acid, fed to retinol-deficient rats, on the tissue distribution and levels of cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP) and cellular retinoic acid-binding protein (CRABP).

All-Purpose Containers? Lipid-Binding Protein - Drug Interactions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The combined use of in vitro (19F-NMR) and in silico (molecular docking) procedures demonstrates the affinity of a number of human calycins (lipid-binding proteins from ileum, liver, heart, adipose tissue and epidermis, and retinol-binding protein from ...

Effects of acute inflammation on plasma retinol, retinol-binding protein, and its mRNA in the liver and kidneys of vitamin A-sufficient rats

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
The acute inflammatory response to tissue injury and infection is associated with low concentrations of plasma retinol and its specific transport proteins, retinol-binding protein (RBP) and transthyretin (TTR).

Structural and binding properties of two paralogous fatty acid binding proteins of Taenia solium metacestode.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012
BackgroundFatty acid (FA) binding proteins (FABPs) of helminths are implicated in acquisition and utilization of host-derived hydrophobic substances, as well as in signaling and cellular interactions. We previously demonstrated that secretory hydrophobic
