Description
MyBioSource sells human urine Retinol Binding Protein (RBP) for research and diagnostic manufacturing purposes.
Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available.
Retinol binding protein (RBP) is responsible for binding and transporting retinol (vitamin A). It has a binding site for one molecule of retinol and circulates in the plasma together with prealbumin in the form of a protein complex in a molar ratio of 1:1. This binding to prealbumin prevents greater glomerular losses of the human retinol-binding protein. Only the retinol-free form of the retinol-binding protein,which has no affinity for prealbumin, undergoes glomerular filtration unhindered as a result of its low molecular weight
