  • Title: Isolation and characterization of riboflavin carrier protein from human amniotic fluid.
    Author: Prasad PD, Malhotra P, Karande AA, Adiga PR.
    Journal: Biochem Int; 1992 Jul; 27(3):385-95. PubMed ID: 1417876.
    Abstract:
    A specific protein exhibiting immunological cross-reactivity with chicken riboflavin carrier protein has been purified to homogeneity from human amniotic fluid by use of ion-exchange and affinity chromatography. The protein is similar to its avian counterpart in terms of molecular size, distribution of 125I-labelled tryptic peptides during finger printing, and preferential binding to riboflavin. Immunologically, they are homologous since most of the monoclonal antibodies raised against the avian protein cross-react with the purified human vitamin carrier.
