A Narrative Review of the Role of Transthyretin in Health and Disease
Neurology and Therapy, 2020 Transthyretin (TTR) is a tetrameric transport protein highly conserved through vertebrate evolution and synthesized in the liver, choroid plexus, and retinal pigment epithelium. TTR transports the thyroid hormone thyroxine and the retinol-binding protein

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 ...
