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 ...

ACS Chemical Biology, 2010 Transthyretin (TTR) is a plasma hormone carrier protein associated with hereditary and senile forms of systemic amyloid disease, wherein slow tetramer disassembly is thought to be an obligatory step. Plasma transport of retinol is carried out exclusively by the retinol-binding protein (RBP), through complexation with transthyretin.

Genetic influences on circulating retinol and its relationship to human health
Nature CommunicationsRetinol is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an essential role in many biological processes throughout the human lifespan. Here, we perform the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) of retinol to date in up to 22,274 participants. We identify eight

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 ...

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
