  • Title: Isolation of riboflavin carrier proteins from pregnant human and umbilical cord serum: similarities with chicken egg riboflavin carrier protein.
    Author: Visweswariah SS, Adiga PR.
    Journal: Biosci Rep; 1987 Jul; 7(7):563-71. PubMed ID: 3689880.
    Abstract:
    A riboflavin carrier protein has been purified from human pregnancy and umbilical cord sera by affinity chromatography and fast protein liquid chromatography. This protein has a similar molecular weight to the chicken egg riboflavin carrier protein and shares other physicochemical properties, such as pI and riboflavin binding characteristics, with the avian counterpart. A high degree of immunological cross-reactivity is observed between the human and avian riboflavin binding proteins indicating the extensive conservation of this protein throughout evolution.
