title: Separable binding proteins for retinoic acid and retinol in bovine retina.
abstract: Binding proteins for retinoic acid and retinol were separated from a supernatant prepared from bovine retina. Fraction IV from DEAE-cellulose chromatography bound exogenous [3H] retinoic acid which could not be effectively displaced by retinol, retinal, retinyl acetate or palmitate, but which was readily displaced with excess retinoic acid. [3H] Retinol was bound by fraction V from DEAE-cellulose chromatography and was not displaced by retinal, retinoic acid, retinyl acetate or retinyl palmitate, but was readily displaced by excess retinol. Unlike bovine serum retinol-binding protein, neither intracellular binding protein formed a complex with purified human serum prealbumin. The supernatant from bovine retinas was estimated to contain five times more retinoic acid binding than retinol binder.
