"Retinol-Binding Proteins" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus, 
	MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure, 
	which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
	
	
		
			
			
				Proteins which bind with RETINOL. The retinol-binding protein found in plasma has an alpha-1 mobility on electrophoresis and a molecular weight of about 21 kDa. The retinol-protein complex (MW=80-90 kDa) circulates in plasma in the form of a protein-protein complex with prealbumin. The retinol-binding protein found in tissue has a molecular weight of 14 kDa and carries retinol as a non-covalently-bound ligand.
