Monoclonal Antibody to Retinol Binding Protein-1 (RBP1) (Clone : RBP/872)

Recognizes a protein of 21kDa-25kDa, identified as retinol binding protein-1 (RBP1) . This protein belongs to the lipocalin family and is the specific carrier for retinol (vitamin A alcohol) in the blood. It delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin, which prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. A deficiency of vitamin A blocks secretion of the binding protein post-transnationally and results in defective delivery and supply to the epidermal cells.
