Retinol-Binding Protein: The Serum Transport Protein for Vitamin A*

Endocrine Reviews, 1989
The information available regarding the chemical structure of RBP, the structure of the RBP gene, and the expression of the RBP gene has expanded dramatically in recent years. Still many questions concerning RBP remain to be answered. The longstanding and important questions concerning the possible existence and the biochemical characteristics of the ...

Placental Transport of Retinol in Ewes Fed High Intakes of Vitamin A

The Journal of Nutrition, 1985
Twelve ewes were fed retinyl propionate equivalent to 12,000 micrograms retinol/kg body weight per day for the last two trimesters of pregnancy (group fed high vitamin A). Four ewes received a control level of 120 micrograms/kg body weight per day. Indwelling catheters were implanted surgically in fetal jugular veins and carotid arteries. Ewes or fetal

Effects of fasting and 3,3′,4,4′,5,5′‐hexabromobiphenyl on plasma transport of thyroxine and retinol: Fasting reverses elevation of retinol

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1994
Male Wistar rats were injected ip with 0 or 20 mg/kg 3,3',4,4',5,5'-hexabromobiphenyl and blood samples were collected 1, 3, 6, 7, and 8 d later. At 8 d after the injection, serum retinol was increased 30% and serum thyroxine was decreased 26% relative to control values.

[Retinol transport into the cell nucleus in vitro].

Ukrainskii biokhimicheskii zhurnal (1978), 1999
The retinol interaction with intact cellular nuclei, nuclear envelope and chromatin was investigated. We have shown that the Cellular Retinol-Binding Protein (CRBP) plays a very important role in such interaction. Retinol can specifically interacts with nuclei, nuclear envelope and chromatin only when it presents as a complex with CRBP.

Characterization of retinol binding protein receptor 2, a putative retinol transporter and serum retinol binding protein receptor

2013
Vitamin A (retinol) is essential for life; however, little is known about how it is transported into cells. Ninety-five percent of retinol found in blood is bound to Serum Retinol Binding Protein (RBP4), suggesting that RBP4 is important for transport of retinol.

Transport of esterified retinol in fasting human blood.

International journal for vitamin and nutrition research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Vitamin- und Ernahrungsforschung. Journal international de vitaminologie et de nutrition, 1986
The transport of retinyl palmitate in postabsorptive human blood has been investigated. For this purpose, lipoproteins were isolated from fasting serum of normal subjects as well as of patients with various diseases. The serum retinyl palmitate values of these individuals ranged from 2.0-30.3 micrograms/100 ml, with a mean value of 7.6 micrograms/100 ...
