Extraction and recombination studies of the interaction of retinol with human plasma retinol-binding protein

Journal of Lipid Research, 1972
Methods have been developed for the removal of retinol from human plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP), so as to form the retinol-free apoprotein, and for the recombination of apo-RBP with retinol to again form the holoprotein.

Retinoid-binding proteins: similar protein architectures bind similar ligands via completely different ways. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Retinoids are a class of compounds that are chemically related to vitamin A, which is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in vision, cell growth and differentiation. In vivo, retinoids must bind with specific proteins to perform their

Effects of acute inflammation on plasma retinol, retinol-binding protein, and its mRNA in the liver and kidneys of vitamin A-sufficient rats

Journal of Lipid Research, 1996
The acute inflammatory response to tissue injury and infection is associated with low concentrations of plasma retinol and its specific transport proteins, retinol-binding protein (RBP) and transthyretin (TTR).

Protein mis-folding and human disease

, 2010
Serum Amyloid P Component (SAP), a putative molecular chaperone, is a homopentamericplasma protein of 25kDa subunits. It binds to the amyloid fibrils ofmisfolded proteins, which cause amyloidosis in humans. SAP not only stabilizesamyloid fibrils but also

Polyphenol dietary supplementation prevents inflammation‐induced muscle atrophy in a zebrafish (Danio rerio) model

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Diet‐induced inflammation is a major cause of muscle degeneration impacting human and animal health. Owing to their anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties, polyphenols have attracted considerable interest as feed additives.

Serum Amyloid A is a Retinol Binding Protein that Transports Retinol during Bacterial Infection [PDF]

, 2016
Retinol plays a vital role in the immune response to infection, however it remains unclear which proteins mediate retinol transport during infection. Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins are produced by the liver following acute systemic infection and are ...
