Extra Details:
Retinol (Vitamin A) is transported in the blood bound to its carrier protein; retinol-binding protein (RBP); also designated plasma retinol-binding protein (PRBP) or RBP4. A member of the lipocalin family; RBP conveys retinol from stores in the liver to peripheral tissues. In plasma; RBP binds transthyretin (TTR; formerly called prealbumin) to prevent glomerular filtration of low molecular weight RBP in the kidneys. The stability of this complex holds diagnostic importance because the molar ratio of RBP:TTR provides an indirect way to indicate marginal Vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A deficiency blocks the secretion of RBP; resulting in defective delivery and supply to epidermal cells. Originally identified solely as a transporter protein; recent studies correlating increased levels of RBP expression in adipose tissue with Insulin resistance have generated research into the possible roles the protein may play in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
