Pityriasis rubra pilaris and retinol-binding protein

British Journal of Dermatology, 1981
Serum levels of retinol-binding protein (the specific carrier of vitamin A) were measured in eleven patients with pityriasis rubra pilaris and in some of their close relatives. The level of retinol-binding protein was markedly reduced in every patient, and in some of the relatives. It is postulated that defective synthesis of retinol-binding protein is

Distribution of Retinol-Binding Prctein in Tissues

1975
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the distribution of retinol-binding protein (RBP) in tissues. Serial sections of pig and human liver tissue obtained shortly post mortem were fixed in ethanol and treated with unlabeled specific rabbit antiserum to human RBP. The pig RBP cross reacts to a considerable extent with human antiserum.

Retinol-Binding Proteins in Human Testis Cytosol

The Journal of Nutrition, 1978
In the cytosol fraction of human testes a specific binding protein for retinol has been isolated by sephadex column chromatography and by gradient centrifugation. The protein has a sedimentation coefficient of 2S, and its molecular weight is estimated by gel filtration to be approximately 16,000 daltons. Competitive binding studies with labeled retinol

Cellular retinol binding protein and breast carcinoma

European Journal of Cancer and Clinical Oncology, 1990
Cellular retinol binding protein (C-RBP) levels were measured in 87 malignant and 18 non-malignant breast cancer tissues. C-RBP, sedimenting in the '2S' region on 5-20% sucrose density gradients, was detectable in 70% of malignant tissues examined. None of the non-malignant tissues contained detectable C-RBP.

CELL-SURFACE RECEPTORS FOR RETINOL-BINDING PROTEIN

Nutrition Reviews, 2009
Target tissues for retinol have receptors to which retinol and retinol-binding protein complex (retinol-RBP) binds specifically. Following this binding, either the whole retinol-RBP is internalized into the cells of some tissues or only the retinol enters the cells in other tissues, with liberation of apo-RBP.

[Prealbumin and retinol-binding protein].

Pathologie-biologie, 1986
Thyroxin binding prealbumin (TBPA) and retinol binding protein (RBP) are associated in a complex responsible for the transport of vitamin A and of about 10% of the thyroid hormones T3 and T4. Both are synthetized in the liver. RBP can be characterized by two essential points: its hepatic secretion depending on the nutritional vitamin A status explains ...

Porcine uterine retinol-binding proteins are identical gene products to the serum retinol-binding protein.

Biology of reproduction, 1993
Retinol-binding proteins (RBP) are secreted by the porcine uterus under the influence of progesterone and consist of multiple charge forms. Evidence has been previously presented by this laboratory that these uterine RBP are distinct from serum RBP. We have followed the secretion of the uterine RBP during two stages of pseudopregnancy, examined their ...
