QuickView for retinol binding proteins (compound)

Name:	Retinol-Binding Proteins
Description:	Proteins which bind with RETINOL. The retinol-binding protein found in plasma has an alpha-1 mobility on electrophoresis and a molecular weight of about 21 kDa. The retinol-protein complex (MW=80-90 kDa) circulates in plasma in the form of a protein-protein complex with prealbumin. The retinol-binding protein found in tissue has a molecular weight of 14 kDa and carries retinol as a non-covalently-bound ligand.
Synonyms:	Retinol Binding Proteins; Binding Proteins, Retinol; Binding Proteins, Retinoid; Retinoid Binding Proteins
