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.

Production of functional human vitamin A transporter/RBP receptor (STRA6) for structure determination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 STRA6 is a plasma membrane protein that mediates the transport of vitamin A, or retinol, from plasma retinol binding protein (RBP) into the cell. Mutations in human STRA6 are associated with Matthew-Wood syndrome, which is characterized by severe ...

Isolation and Properties of a Human Retinol-transporting Protein
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1971 A human retinol-transporting protein has been isolated from the urine of patients with tubular proteinuria. The protein separated into four fractions in the last two purification steps (sulfoethyl Sephadex chromatography and DEAE-Sephadex chromatography). The yield of purified retinol-binding protein (RBP) was 33 to 41% of the amount in concentrates of

Retinol metabolism in rats with low vitamin A status: a compartmental model
Journal of Lipid Research, 1990 A compartmental model was developed to describe the metabolism of vitamin A in rats with low vitamin A status maintained by a low dietary intake of vitamin A (approximately 2 micrograms retinol equivalents/day).

Identification of SNPs in Cellular Retinol Binding Protein 1 and Cellular Retinol Binding Protein 3 Genes and Their Associations with Laying Performance Traits in Erlang Mountainous Chicken [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2014 CRBP1 (cellular retinol binding protein 1) and CRBP3 (cellular retinol binding protein 3), are important components of the retinoid signaling pathway and take part in vitamin A absorption, transport and metabolism.

Real-time Analyses of Retinol Transport by the Membrane Receptor of Plasma Retinol Binding Protein
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2013 Vitamin A is essential for vision and the growth/differentiation of almost all human organs. Plasma retinol binding protein (RBP) is the principle and specific carrier of vitamin A in the blood. Here we describe an optimized technique to produce and purify holo-RBP and two real-time monitoring techniques to study the transport of vitamin A by the high ...
