Retinol transport system in cattle and purification of retinol-binding protein from bovine serum.
The Japanese Journal of Veterinary Science, 1989 Retinol transport system in cattle was investigated, followed by the purification and characterization of bovine serum retinol-binding protein (RBP). Gel filtration of serum from cow produced two retinol peaks, peak 1 and 2. The major, peak 1 having higher molecular weight corresponded to the retinol peak from human serum which consisted of RBP and ...

Vitamin A transport and the transmembrane pore in the cell-surface receptor for plasma retinol binding protein. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Vitamin A and its derivatives (retinoids) play diverse and crucial functions from embryogenesis to adulthood and are used as therapeutic agents in human medicine for eye and skin diseases, infections and cancer.

Metabolism of retinol-binding protein and vitamin A during hypervitaminosis A in the rat
Journal of Lipid Research, 1975 Vitamin A is normally transported in plasma as retinol bound to a specific protein, retinol-binding protein (RBP). Detailed studies were conducted to examine the effects of excess vitamin A on the plasma concentration and metabolism of RBP, and to obtain

Alterations to oxidative stress markers in dogs after a short-term stress during transport*
Journal of Nutritional Science, 2014 While methods to evaluate antioxidant capacity in animals exist, one problem with the models is induction of oxidative stress. It is necessary to promote a great enough challenge to induce measurable alterations to oxidative parameters while ensuring the

CryoEM structure and small-angle X-ray scattering analyses of porcine retinol-binding protein 3
Open BiologyThe vertebrate visual cycle hinges on enzymatically converting all-trans-retinol (at-ROL) into 11-cis-retinal (11c-RAL), the chromophore that binds to opsins in photoreceptors, forming light-responsive pigments.

Plasma retinol transport and clearance in hypervitaminosis A.
Journal of dairy science, 1979 Effects of mild and severe hypervitaminosis A on retinol transport and clearance were studied in mature ewes. Excessive vitamin A intake was assoicated with high concentrations of vitamin A in plasma and liver, with elevated serum enzymes, with decreased feed consumption and packed cell volume, and with epithelial hyperplasia.
