Abstract:
A protein has been isolated from rat liver cytosol that specifically binds alpha-tocopherol. It does not occur in other tissues. Its amino acid sequence has been determined and it was found to have great homology with 11-cis-retinaldehyde-binding protein of the retina. This tocopherol-binding protein may be defective in a certain type of familial vitamin E deficiency syndrome.
