RBP Antibody (20F9) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects retinol-binding protein (RBP) in mouse, rat, and human samples through western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP) applications. RBP plays a crucial role in the transport of retinol (Vitamin A) from the liver to peripheral tissues, which is essential for various physiological processes, including vision, immune function, and cellular growth. RBP is primarily located in the bloodstream, where RBP binds to retinol and interacts with transthyretin (TTR) to prevent filtration by the kidneys, thereby maintaining stability and functionality. The RBP-TTR complex is significant not only for retinol transport but also as a diagnostic marker for vitamin A deficiency, as the molar ratio of RBP to TTR can indicate marginal deficiencies. Furthermore, emerging research has linked elevated RBP levels in adipose tissue to insulin resistance, suggesting RBP may have a role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Anti-RBP antibody (20F9) is an invaluable tool for researchers investigating the multifaceted roles of retinol-binding protein in health and disease.
