1 Retinol in cells is bound by either cellular retinol binding protein (CRBP), present in most tissues including liver, or cellular retinol binding protein type II [CRBP(II)], present in the absorptive cell of the small intestine. Vitamin A retinol binding protein 2 Homo sapiens
2 Esterification of free retinol by both liver and intestinal LRAT resulted in Km values (0.63 and 0.44 microM, respectively) similar to those obtained for esterification of retinol-CRBP (0.20 and 0.78 microM, respectively) and esterification of retinol-CRBP(II) (0.24 and 0.32 microM, respectively). Vitamin A retinol binding protein 2 Homo sapiens
3 Apo-CRBP(II), in contrast, was a poor competitor for esterification of retinol bound to CRBP(II). Vitamin A retinol binding protein 2 Homo sapiens
4 Apo-CRBP(II), in contrast, was a poor competitor for esterification of retinol bound to CRBP(II). Vitamin A retinol binding protein 2 Homo sapiens
