Liver takes up retinol-binding protein from plasma.
Retinol is transported in plasma bound to a specific transport protein, retinol-binding protein. We prepared 125I-tyramine cellobiose-labeled rat retinol-binding protein and studied its tissue uptake 1, 5, and 24 h after intravenous injection into rats. The liver was the organ containing most radioactivity at all time points studied. After 5 and 24 h, 30 and 22% of the injected dose were recove...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay of human plasma retinol-binding protein.
A radioimmunoassay for human plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP) has been developed utilizing a double antibody precipitation technique. RBP was purified 1500- to 2000-fold by procedures described previously. A specific anti-human RBP antiserum was prepared in rabbits by three once-weekly injections of purified RBP emulsified with Freund's adjuvant. RBP was iodinated with (131)I and the RBP-(1...
متن کاملTransfer of retinol from parenchymal to stellate cells in liver is mediated by retinol-binding protein.
Newly absorbed chylomicron remnant retinyl ester is endocytosed by parenchymal liver cells, and retinol is subsequently transferred to perisinusoidal stellate cells in liver. In the present study we have used several approaches to elucidate the mechanism for the paracrine transfer of retinol between liver parenchymal and stellate cells. In one series of experiments, chylomicrons labeled with [3...
متن کاملLoss of retinol-binding properties for plasma retinol-binding protein in normal human epidermis.
Terminal differentiation of the keratinocytes (cornification) has been linked to a restricted supply of retinol. Retinol is distributed to target cells by the retinol-binding protein (RBP), which circulates in the plasma in complex with transthyretin (TTR). In this study we have addressed the question of retinol delivery to the epidermis via RBP. Retinol radiobinding assays, affinity chromatogr...
متن کاملassociation of plasma retinol binding protein-4 (rbp4) and sonographic grading of fatty liver in obese iranian children
results rbp4 levels in obese children (19 482.9 ± 3 302.2 pg/ml) were higher than those found in the lean control group (14 295.68 ± 2 381.3 pg/ml) (p < 0.05). in the obese patients, rbp4 levels showed a significant correlation with the grade of fatty liver and bmi (p < 0.05). conclusions it was found that the level of rbp4 had a strong correlation with the severity of fatty liver. therefore, r...
