Supplier Page from Novus Biologicals, a Bio-Techne Brand for Retinol Binding Protein RBP Antibody (G4E4) [Alexa Fluor® 350]
Available conjugates: Available conjugates: Alexa Fluor 350, Alexa Fluor 532, DyLight 650, DyLight 550Specificity: This monoclonal antibody recognizes an epitope within the 74-182 C-terminal sequence (11kD peptide fragment) of human serum Cellular Retinol Binding Protein 1 (CRBP 1), a single-chain glycoprotein belonging to the superfamily of hydrophobic molecule transporter proteins, which is responsible for transport of retinol (vitamin A1) from the liver to peripheral target tissues, like the eye, where it mediates the cellular uptake. CRBP 1 is synthesized by hepatic parenchymal cells where it becomes bound to its ligand retinol and is then released into the circulation, where it binds further to the protein transthyretin, to form a transporting complex, which is big enough not to be lost by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. It is detected in nearly all tissues with higher expression in adult ovary, pancreas, pituitary gland, adrenal gland, and fetal liver.Sizes Available: 0.1 ml
