Histopathological Characteristics and Multi-Omics Analysis of Ocular Pigmentation Defects in Albino Percocypris pingi [PDF]

Cells
Percocypris pingi was listed in the China Vertebrate Red List in 2015, and albino P. pingi exhibits remarkable ocular phenotypes due to melanin synthesis defects, including the deficiency of melanin granules in the iris and retinal pigment epithelium ...

RBP4 in Ageing [PDF]

Biomedicines
Background: The protein that binds to retinol 4 (RBP4), is a lipocalin-family protein, secreted primarily by the adipose tissue and the liver, and has also been reported to be produced by other tissues, including the kidney.

Biological Functions of RBP4 and Its Relevance for Human Diseases

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a member of the lipocalin family and the major transport protein of the hydrophobic molecule retinol, also known as vitamin A, in the circulation.

The transport of retinol in human plasma [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1969
Evidence in support of the view that tryptophanrich prealbumin [l] may serve as the specific transport protein for retinol in human plasma has previously been reported by Alvsaker, Haugli and Laland [2]. Since thyroxine is transported partly by this protein [3] , thyroxine and retinol would then share the same transport protein. In order to investigate

An in vitro model for vitamin A transport across the human blood–brain barrier

eLife, 2023
Vitamin A, supplied by the diet, is critical for brain health, but little is known about its delivery across the blood–brain barrier (BBB). Brain microvascular endothelial-like cells (BMECs) differentiated from human-derived induced pluripotent stem ...

Liver Retinol Transporter and Receptor for Serum Retinol-binding Protein (RBP4) [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Vitamin A (retinol) is absorbed in the small intestine, stored in liver, and secreted into circulation bound to serum retinol-binding protein (RBP4). Circulating retinol may be taken up by extrahepatic tissues or recycled back to liver multiple times before it is finally metabolized or degraded.

Intact vitamin A transport is critical for cold-mediated adipose tissue browning and thermogenesis

Molecular Metabolism, 2020
Objective: Transformation of white into brown fat (“browning”) reduces obesity in many preclinical models and holds great promise as a therapeutic concept in metabolic disease. Vitamin A metabolites (retinoids) have been linked to thermogenic programming

TNF receptor–related factor 3 inactivation promotes the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma through NF‐κB‐inducing kinase–mediated hepatocyte transdifferentiation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a deadly but poorly understood disease, and its treatment options are very limited. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular drivers of ICC and search for therapeutic targets.

Transport of retinol in the duck plasma [PDF]

Journal of Biosciences, 1981
Retinol-binding protein and prealbumin were isolated from duck plasma by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose-and DEAE-Sephadex A-50, gel filtration on Sephadex G- 100 and preparative Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weights of the retinolbinding protein-prealbumin complex, prealbumin and retinol-binding protein were found to be 75,000 ...
