Retinol and retinoic acid-binding proteins in bovine retina: aspects of binding specificity
Futterman, S.; Saari, J.C.; Swanson, D.E., 1976: Retinol and retinoic acid-binding proteins in bovine retina: aspects of binding specificity. Experimental Eye Research 22(5): 419-424
Bovine serum contains no apoprotein of low molecular weight with the capacity to bind either etinoic acid, and the intact retinol-binding protein complex of bovine serum is resistant to exchange of ligand. Acetone-extracted serum bound both ligands, but no evidence of the presence of any low molecular weight protein showing preferential binding of retinoic acid could be found.
