The membrane receptor for plasma retinol-binding protein, a new type of cell-surface receptor.

International review of cell and molecular biology - 1 Jan 2011

Sun Hui, Kawaguchi Riki

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin A is essential for diverse aspects of life ranging from embryogenesis to the proper functioning of most adult organs. Its derivatives (retinoids) have potent biological activities such as regulating cell growth and differentiation. Plasma retinol-binding protein (RBP) is the specific vitamin A carrier protein in the blood that binds to vitamin A with high affinity and delivers it to target organs. A large...
