A multicompartmental model of vitamin A kinetics in rats with marginal liver vitamin A stores.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1985 A linear, first-order, constant-coefficient multicompartmental model is presented which describes the dynamics of [3H]retinol turnover in adult rats with normal plasma retinol concentrations but low liver stores (less than 100 micrograms of retinol ...

Cells, 2020 Dietary vitamin A/all-trans retinol/ROL plays a critical role in human vision. ROL circulates bound to the plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP4) as RBP4-ROL. In the eye, the STRA6 membrane receptor binds to circulatory RBP4 and internalizes ROL. STRA6 is,

Evidence for an Essential Role of Megalin in Transepithelial Transport of Retinol [PDF]
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 1999 Abstract. Transepithelial transport of retinol is linked to retinol-binding protein (RBP), which is taken up and also synthesized in a number of epithelia. By immunocytochemistry of human, rat, and mouse renal proximal tubules, a strong staining in apical endocytic vacuoles, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and basal ...

Retinol Esterification Activity Contributes to Retinol Transport in Stellate Cells.
Cell Structure and Function, 1999 The mechanisms of retinol transport and accumulation in hepatic stellate cells (HSC) remain to be elucidated. Our previous studies suggested that retinol esterification activity, particularly lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) activity, in liver retinoid metabolism is important to elucidate the relationship between retinol uptake by HSC and the ...

Retinoid-binding proteins: similar protein architectures bind similar ligands via completely different ways. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Retinoids are a class of compounds that are chemically related to vitamin A, which is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in vision, cell growth and differentiation. In vivo, retinoids must bind with specific proteins to perform their

Impact of vitamin A transport and storage on intestinal retinoid homeostasis and functions
Journal of Lipid Research, 2021 : Lecithin:retinol acyltransferase and retinol-binding protein enable vitamin A (VA) storage and transport, respectively, maintaining tissue homeostasis of retinoids (VA derivatives).

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 ...

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.
