Expression of retinol‐binding protein and cellular retinol‐binding protein in the bovine ovary
Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2003AbstractRetinol (vitamin A) is essential for reproduction, and retinoids have been suggested to play a role in ovarian steroidogenesis, oocyte maturation, and early embryonic development. Retinol is transported systemically and intercellularly by retinol‐binding protein (RBP).

Retinol‐Binding Protein and Prealbumin
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1986SummaryPlasma prealbumin (PA) and retinol‐binding protein (RBP) concentrations were serially measured in 25 critically ill, malnourished infants requiring parenteral nutrition to determine if these visceral protein markers are useful in assessing acute protein repletion. Significant increases in both proteins (p > 0.05) were noted as early as 5 to 7

Retinol binding protein is a single chain polypeptide of 21 000 Da without associated carbohydrate. It is the sole transport protein for vitamin A, and exists in the serum as an equimolar complex with prealbumin (trans-thyretin). Free retinol binding protein is rapidly excreted by the kidney, the function of the prealbumin-RBP complex appearing to be a

The transthyretin-retinol-binding protein complex
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000Transthyretin (TTR, formerly called prealbumin), one of the transporters of the hormone thyroxine and the lipocalin retinol-binding protein (RBP), the specific carrier of the vitamin, are known to form, under physiological conditions, a macromolecular complex that is believed to play an important physiological role: prevention of glomerular filtration ...

Cellular retinol binding protein and breast carcinoma
European Journal of Cancer and Clinical Oncology, 1990Cellular 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.

Vitamin A is transported from its storage site in the liver to the epithelial tissues by a carrier protein, the Retinol-binding protein (RBP). In plasma RBP forms a complex with thyroxine-binding prealbumin. The present article reviews available data on the RBP system. The complete primary structure of RBP has been determined.

Interstitial retinol-binding protein (IRBP) in retinoblastoma
Neurochemistry International, 1985Interstitial retinol-binding protein (IRBP) is an extracellular glycoprotein that appears to be synthesized by the photoreceptors in the normal retina and may be involved in shuttling retinoids through the interphotoreceptor matrix between the retina and pigment epithelium.

Retinol-Binding Proteins in Human Testis Cytosol
The Journal of Nutrition, 1978In 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

The lacrimal gland synthesizes retinol-binding protein
Experimental Eye Research, 1992The rabbit lacrimal gland secretes retinol bound to a 20-21 kDa protein. To test the hypothesis that this protein might be retinol-binding protein (RBP) we probed lacrimal gland for RBP mRNA and lacrimal gland fluid for RBP. A rabbit RBP cDNA clone was used to probe rabbit and rat lacrimal gland RNA using RNase protection analysis.

Characterization of retinol-binding protein in familial hypo-retinol-binding proteinemia.
Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 1989We reported previously familial hypo-retinol-binding proteinemia in a child who developed keratomalacia during measles infection. In the present study, we characterized serum retinol-binding proteins (RBPs) in the affected family members and compared these RBPs with those in the unaffected family members. Immunoblotting following SDS-polyacrylamide gel
