Abstract excerpt
Tissue needs for retinoids are believed to be satisfied through the delivery in the circulation of retinol by its specific plasma transport protein, retinol-binding protein (RBP), which circulates as a 1-to-1 protein complex with transthyretin (TTR). The binding of RBP to TTR is thought to preven...
