Metabolism and secretion of retinol transport complex in acute renal failure

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
Tissue uptake and distribution of retinol from circulatory vitamin A transport complex was studied in order to determine the origin of the increased serum retinol in rats with short-term acute renal failure.

Retinol and Retinol‐Binding Protein: Gut Integrity and Circulating Immunoglobulins [PDF]

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2000
Vitamin A (retinol) is required to maintain immunity and epithelial turnover and is a key micronutrient needed for combating infection. Vitamin A actions on the immune system are diverse and cannot be accounted for by a single effect or mechanism.

An immortalized rat liver stellate cell line (HSC-T6): a new cell model for the study of retinoid metabolism in vitro

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Hepatocytes and hepatic stellate cells play important roles in retinoid storage and metabolism. Hepatocytes process postprandial retinyl esters and are responsible for secretion of retinol bound to retinol-binding protein (RBP) to maintain plasma retinol

The Retinol Binding Protein Receptor 2 (Rbpr2) is required for Photoreceptor Outer Segment Morphogenesis and Visual Function in Zebrafish

Scientific Reports, 2017
Vitamin A (all-trans retinol) plays critical roles in mammalian development and vision. Since vitamin A is food-derived, tissue-specific uptake and storage mechanism are needed.

The retinol-binding protein receptor STRA6 regulates diurnal insulin responses

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
It has long been appreciated that insulin action is closely tied to circadian rhythms. However, the mechanisms that dictate diurnal insulin sensitivity in metabolic tissues are not well understood.

Influência da resposta inflamatória de fase aguda nos níveis séricos de retinol e da proteína de ligação do retinol em pacientes com AIDS Influence of acute-phase inflammatory response on serum levels of retinol and retinol binding protein in HIV/AIDS patients

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2010
INTRODUÇÃO: a hiporretinolemia constitui fator prognóstico independente em pacientes com AIDS, e a atividade inflamatória causa redução dos níveis séricos deste nutriente na população em geral.

Plasma Levels of Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 4, Retinol-Binding Protein 4, High-Molecular Weight Adiponectin, and Cardiovascular Mortality among Men with Type 2 Diabetes: A 22-Year Prospective Study

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2016
Objective—To examine select adipokines, including fatty acid–binding protein 4, retinol-binding protein 4, and high-molecular-weight (HMW) adiponectin in relation to cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus ...

Retinol modulates site-specific mobility of apo-cellular retinol-binding protein to promote ligand binding

, 2006
A fundamental question in protein science is how the inherent dynamics of a protein influence its function. If this function involves interactions with a ligand, the protein-ligand encounter has the potential to modulate the protein dynamics.
