Cellular Retinol- and Retinoic Acid-binding Proteins of Bovine Retina
A three-step purification has been developed for the cellular retinoland cellular retinoic acid-binding proteins from extracts of bovine retina. The two binding proteins elute together in Step 1 (gel filtration) and separate in Step 2 (DEAE-cellulose chromatography), and each is purified to apparent homogeneity in the third step (calcium phosphate gel chromatography). The retinoland retinoic ac...
متن کاملEffects of dietary retinoic acid on cellular retinol- and retinoic acid-binding protein levels in various rat tissues.
A study was conducted to explore the effects of retinoic acid, fed to retinol-deficient rats, on the tissue distribution and levels of cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP) and cellular retinoic acid-binding protein (CRABP). Sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays were employed to measure the levels of both CRBP and CRABP. Two groups of six male rats each were fed a purified retinoid-deficie...
متن کاملUptake of retinol and retinoic acid from serum retinol-binding protein by retinal pigment epithelial cells.
Isolated pigment epithelial cells from bovine eyes were shown to be capable of taking up retinol and retinoic acid. The uptake was dependent on the ligands being presented to the cells as complexes with serum retinol-binding protein. Neither free retinol nor retinol or retinoic acid presented as serum albumin complexes were taken up by the pigment epithelial cells. The transport of retinal and ...
متن کاملThe cellular retinoic acid binding protein I is dispensable.
The cellular retinoic acid binding proteins I and II (CRABPI and CRABPII) bind retinoic acid with high affinity, exhibit distinct patterns of expression during embryonic development, and are thought to play important roles in the RA signaling pathway. We have generated a targeted mutation of the CRABPI gene using the "hit-and-run" strategy and shown that it prevents the production of a function...
متن کاملBinding Protein-II Mammary Carcinoma Suppression by Cellular Retinoic Acid
Retinoic acid (RA) modulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, and is used in chemotherapy and chemoprevention in several human cancers. RA exerts its pleiotropic activities by activating the nuclear receptors, retinoic acid receptor (RAR), which, in turn, regulate transcription of multiple target genes. In cells, RA also associates with cellular RA-binding proteins [cellular ...
