New insights on the protein-ligand interaction differences between the two primary cellular retinol carriers[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
The main retinol carriers in the cytosol are the cellular retinol-binding proteins types I and II (CRBP-I and CRBP-II), which exhibit distinct tissue distributions.

Is Retinol Binding Protein 4 a Link Between Adiposity and Cancer?

Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation, 2015
Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is synthesized in the liver where it binds vitamin A, retinol, and transports it to tissues throughout the body. It has been shown in some studies that the level of circulating RBP4 increases with body mass, and the ...

Retinol Modulates Site-Specific Mobility of Apo-Cellular Retinol-Binding Protein to Promote Ligand Binding

, 2016
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.

Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Nonretinoid Retinol Binding Protein 4 Antagonists for the Potential Treatment of Atrophic Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Stargardt Disease

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2014
Accumulation of lipofuscin in the retina is associated with pathogenesis of atrophic age-related macular degeneration and Stargardt disease. Lipofuscin bisretinoids (exemplified by N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine) seem to mediate lipofuscin toxicity.

Holo-retinol-binding protein and its receptor STRA6 drive oncogenic transformation

Cancer Research, 2014
Vitamin A, retinol, circulates in blood bound to retinol-binding protein (RBP). At some tissues, RBP is recognized by STRA6, a plasma membrane protein that serves a dual role: it transports retinol from extracellular RBP into cells and it transduces a ...
