Biochem/physiol Actions

A1120 is a selective non-retinoid ligand for retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4). RBP4 transports retinol from the liver to extrahepatic tissues and RBP4 lowering is reported to improve insulin sensitivity in mice. A1120 is a high affinity non-retinoid ligand for RBP4 which disrupts the interaction between RBP4 and its binding partner transthyretin (TTR). It binds to the same site as retinol and induces changes in the orientation (compared to the retinol bound form) of loops at the RBP4-TTR interaction interface.A1120 lowers RBP4 and retinol levels in a dose-dependent manner, to a similar extent as seen with fenretinide. However, unlike fenretinide (Sigma# H7779), A1120 does not have beneficial effects on insulin resistance.

Cone photoreceptors in the retina enable vision over a wide range of light intensities. However, the processes enabling cone vision in bright light (i.e. photopic vision) are not adequately understood. Chromophore regeneration of cone photopigments may require the retinal pigment

Vitamin A must be adequately distributed within the body to maintain the functions of retinoids in the periphery and chromophore production in the eyes. Blood transport of the lipophilic vitamin is mediated by the retinol-binding protein, RBP4. Biochemical evidence suggests

Cervical cancer is characterized by an immunosuppressive microenvironment and a Th2-type cytokine profile. Expression of arginase (ASE), the enzyme that converts L-arginine into L-ornithine and urea, is stimulated by Th2-type cytokines. To assess the association of ASE activity and L-Arg
