Product details

The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Mouse/Rat RBP4. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.

For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (ab202404), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.

Supplementary information

RBP4 or retinol-binding protein 4 is a carrier protein that is essential for the transport of retinol or vitamin A in the bloodstream. Also known by the names RBP or plasma retinol-binding protein this protein has a molecular weight of approximately 21 kDa. RBP4 is mainly expressed in the liver and secreted into the blood where it binds to retinol and protects it from oxidation. The structure of RBP4 allows it to fit into binding pockets facilitating the transport of retinol to peripheral tissues.
Biological function summary

RBP4 plays a role as a transporter of vitamin A from the liver to tissues where it is needed. It forms complexes with transthyretin in the blood which prevents kidney filtration and subsequent loss of retinol. This function ensures the proper delivery and availability of retinol essential for vision cellular differentiation and immune system function. The stability of the retinol-RBP4 complex is important to maintaining sufficient vitamin A levels in the body.

Pathways

RBP4 is significant in the vitamin A metabolism pathway and affects the retinoid signaling pathways. These pathways are critical for processes such as vision and skin health. RBP4 interacts with proteins like lecithin retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) in these pathways which are responsible for esterifying retinol into retinyl esters a storage form of vitamin A. These interactions ensure the efficient transport and storage of vitamin A and that it is accessible when needed by different tissues.

RBP4 is linked to the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Elevated RBP4 levels correlate with these conditions and highlight its role in metabolic processes. Studies also show a connection between altered RBP4 levels and obesity with insulin resistance often occurring in conjunction with obesity. The protein is implicated in these metabolic disorders through its interactions with insulin-regulating proteins which influence glucose homeostasis.

Target data

Retinol-binding protein that mediates retinol transport in blood plasma. Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. Transfers the bound all-trans retinol to STRA6, that then facilitates retinol transport across the cell membrane.
