Retinol-binding protein 4 in neonates born small for gestational age [PDF]
Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is an adipocyte-derived 'signal' that may contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. The relationship of RBP4 with insulin resistance and metabolic risk in human beings has been the subject of several studies.

A proteomic investigation of forebrain regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
Our investigation reveals ontogenetic, injury‐ and regeneration‐associated proteomic changes in the leopard gecko forebrain. Abstract Background The ability to replace lost or damaged neurons following an injury is termed reactive neurogenesis. Although reactive neurogenesis has been reported in several lizard species, the molecular mechanisms ...

The various citrus wastes, including the citrus fruit peels, pulp remaining after extraction of juice, and seeds, are the sources of bioactive compounds. The waste parts of oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and mandarins contain the bioactive compounds, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, essential oils, and carotenoids.

Human plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP4) is also a fatty acid-binding protein [PDF]
RBP4 (plasma retinol-binding protein) is the 21 kDa transporter of all-trans retinol that circulates in plasma as a moderately tight 1:1 molar complex of the vitamin with the protein.

Loss of Retinol-Binding Properties for Plasma Retinol-Binding Protein in Normal Human Epidermis [PDF]
Terminal differentiation of the keratinocytes (cornification) has been linked to a restricted supply of retinol. Retinol is distributed to target cells by the retinol-binding protein (RBP), which circulates in the plasma in complex with transthyretin ...

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.

Retinol binding protein 4 – a novel association with early-onset preeclampsia [PDF]
Dysregulation of maternal circulating adipokines has been implicated in several "great obstetrical syndromes" including preeclampsia (PE), small-for-gestational age (SGA) neonate and fetal death (FD). It has been suggested that adipokines provide a molecular link between metabolic derangements and inflammatory response in complicated pregnancies ...

Dietary vitamin A/all-trans retinol/ROL plays a critical role in human vision. ROL circulates bound to the plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP4) as RBP4-ROL. In the eye, the STRA6 membrane receptor binds to circulatory RBP4 and internalizes ROL. STRA6 is,

In vitro interaction of fenretinide with plasma retinol-binding protein and its functional consequences [PDF]
The synthetic retinoid fenretinide (4-HPR; N-[4-hydroxyphenyl] all-trans-retinamide) interacts with plasma apo-retinol-binding protein (RBP)to form a tight complex (λHJ = 0.2 μM) which does not exhibit binding affinity to transthyretin (TTR).
