Related Product Information for RBP1 protein
MyBioSource sells human urine Retinol Binding Protein (RBP) for research and manufacturing purposes.
Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available.
Retinol binding protein (RBP) is responsible for binding and transporting retinol (vitamin A). It has a binding site for one molecule of retinol and circulates in the plasma together with prealbumin in the form of a protein complex in a molar ratio of 1:1. This binding to prealbumin prevents greater glomerular losses of the human retinol-binding protein. Only the retinol-free form of the retinol-binding protein,which has no affinity for prealbumin, undergoes glomerular filtration unhindered as a result of its low molecular weight.

Product Notes
The RBP1 rbp4 (Catalog #AAA173185) is a Protein produced from Human and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Retinol Binding Protein, Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
