Adipocyte HSL is required for maintaining circulating vitamin A and RBP4 levels during fasting

EMBO Reports
Vitamin A (retinol) is distributed via the blood bound to its specific carrier protein, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4). Retinol-loaded RBP4 is secreted into the circulation exclusively from hepatocytes, thereby mobilizing hepatic retinoid stores that ...

Retinol and retinol-binding protein stabilize transthyretin via formation of retinol transport complex.

, 2010
Transthyretin (TTR) is a plasma hormone carrier protein associated with hereditary and senile forms of systemic amyloid disease, wherein slow tetramer disassembly is thought to be an obligatory step. Plasma transport of retinol is carried out exclusively
