...Lianna Fung; Daniel B. Dranow; Arul Subramanian; Natalia Libby; Thomas F. Schilling ABSTRACT Cellular retinoic acid (RA)-binding proteins (Crabps) solubilize intracellular RA and transport it to its nuclear receptors or cytoplasmic degradation enzymes. Despite their extreme conservation across...

... of its addition. Western blot analysis indicated that cellular retinoic acid binding protein (CRABP) was present in the sensory epithelium of the embryonic cochlea. The amount of CRABP apparently increased between embryonic day 14 and postnatal day 1, but CRABP was not detectable in sensory epithelia...

... (CRBP, CRABP) in non-neural tissues of mouse embryos during the period of organogenesis. At all stages, RAR-α transcripts were almost ubiquitous, whereas the distribution of transcripts of the other four genes was distinctive in all systems. At early stages in the formation of an organ, the expression...
