Rutgers researchers unlock mysteries of vitamin A metabolism during embryonic development

...look at how ROH is metabolized into RE and RA to maintain an optimal balance of retinoids during the formation of the embryo. Mutant mice lacking both rbp and LRAT were generated to perform this study, so as to interfere with the two main pathways of maternal vitamin A delivery to the fetus (ROH-RBP from...

Retinol-binding Protein RBP ELISA

Description: This Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) serves the quantitative determination of the Retinol binding protein (RBP) from plasma, serum and urine. In a 1 hour incubation step, the RBP in the samples is bound to an available excess of polyclonal rabbit antibodies against RBP, which is immobiliz...

Retinol Binding Protein EIA Vitamin Assays 030-6110 RBP Bone and Minearl Metabolism

Description: Retinol binding Proetin (RBP) is small (21kD) transport protein for vitamin A which forms a complex with pre-albumin in blood but loses its affinity for prealbumin once the vitamin has been deliverd to the target cells. The free RBP molecule is then rapidly filtered at the glomerulus and cata...
