| 1 | The ability of pure hCRBP(II) to bind all-trans-retinol, retinal and retinoic acid was examined by competitive binding assay and compared with the binding specificity of pure human cellular retinol-binding protein (hCRBP). | Vitamin A | retinol binding protein 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Retinal competed with retinol for binding to hCRBP(II) but not to hCRBP, consistent with what was observed for the homologous proteins of rats. | Vitamin A | retinol binding protein 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | These results provide tools for further investigation of the role of hCRBP(II) and suggest that previous results from rats, in this important aspect, are relevant to human metabolism of vitamin A. | Vitamin A | retinol binding protein 2 | Homo sapiens |
