Transfer 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 کاملReal-time analyses of retinol transport by the membrane receptor of plasma retinol binding protein.
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-affinity RBP receptor STRA6. The first tech...
متن کاملSerum amyloid A is a retinol binding protein that transports retinol during bacterial infection
Retinol plays a vital role in the immune response to infection, yet proteins that mediate retinol transport during infection have not been identified. Serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins are strongly induced in the liver by systemic infection and in the intestine by bacterial colonization, but their exact functions remain unclear. Here we show that mouse and human SAAs are retinol binding proteins. ...
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 کاملLiver retinol transporter and receptor for serum retinol-binding protein (RBP4).
Vitamin A (retinol) is absorbed in the small intestine, stored in liver, and secreted into circulation bound to serum retinol-binding protein (RBP4). Circulating retinol may be taken up by extrahepatic tissues or recycled back to liver multiple times before it is finally metabolized or degraded. Liver exhibits high affinity binding sites for RBP4, but specific receptors have not been identified...
