Retinol-Binding Protein 4 in Human Obesity [PDF]

Diabetes, 2006
Studies in mice suggest that adipocytes serve as glucose sensors and regulate systemic glucose metabolism through release of serum retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4). This model has not been validated in humans. RBP4 was highly expressed in isolated mature human adipocytes and secreted by differentiating human adipocytes.

Genus-level evolutionary relationships of FAR proteins reflect the diversity of lifestyles of free-living and parasitic nematodes

BMC Biology, 2021
Background Nematodes are a widespread and diverse group comprising free-living and parasitic species, some of which have major detrimental effects on crops, animals, and human health. Genomic comparisons of nematodes may help reveal the genetic bases for

Deciphering protein dynamics changes along the pathway of retinol uptake by cellular retinol-binding proteins 1 and 2

, 2018
Four Cellular Retinol-binding Proteins (CRBP 1, 2, 3, 4) are encoded in the human genome. CRBP 1 and 2, sharing a 56% amino acid sequence identity, exhibit the highest binding affinities for retinol.

An insight into the changes in human plasma proteome on adaptation to hypobaric hypoxia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Adaptation to hypobaric hypoxia is required by animals and human in several physiological and pathological situations. Hypobaric hypoxia is a pathophysiological condition triggering redox status disturbances of cell organization leading, via oxidative ...

Binding of synthetic analogues of retinol and retinoic acid (CD-270 derivatives) to retinoid-binding proteins.

, 1991
Cellular retinoid-binding proteins play an important physiological role in the mode of action of retinoids upstream from the nuclear receptors. Tritiated analogues of retinol (ROL) and retinoic acid corresponding to substituted benzo[b]thiophene (CD-270)

Retinol-binding protein 4 in polycystic ovary syndrome--association with steroid hormones and response to pioglitazone treatment [PDF]

, 2009
CONTEXT: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is frequently associated with insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate a putative role of the adipokines retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), adiponectin, and visfatin in a cohort of ...

Comparative proteomic analysis of gallbladder bile proteins related to cholesterol gallstones. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Nucleation of cholesterol monohydrate crystals following the aggregation and fusion of cholesterol-enriched vesicles is a critical procedure in the formation of cholesterol gallstone. Biliary proteins play important roles in the process.

Structure of a complex of two plasma proteins: transthyretin and retinol-binding protein

, 1995
The three-dimensional structure of the complex formed by two plasma proteins, transthyretin and retinol-binding protein, was determined from x-ray diffraction data to a nominal resolution of 3.1 angstroms.
