products description :
Principle of the Assay: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. An antibody specific to RBP-4 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with HRP-conjugated RBP-4 and incubated. A competitive inhibition reaction is launched between RBP-4 (Standards or samples) and HRP-conjugated RBP-4 with the pre-coated antibody specific for RBP-4. The more amount of RBP-4 in samples, the less antibody bound by HRP-conjugated RBP-4. Then the substrate solutions are added to the wells, respectively. And the color develops in opposite to the amount of RBP-4 in the sample. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

ncbi summary :
This protein belongs to the lipocalin family and is the specific carrier for retinol (vitamin A alcohol) in the blood. It delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin which prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. A deficiency of vitamin A blocks secretion of the binding protein posttranslationally and results in defective delivery and supply to the epidermal cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
