Why RBP matters: A multi-purpose biomarker
Retinol-Binding Protein (RBP) is a key transport protein for vitamin A (retinol) in the bloodstream. Synthesized in the liver, RBP binds to retinol before entering circulation. After retinol delivery, RBP is filtered by the kidneys and nearly fully reabsorbed by the proximal renal tubule.1,2
RBP levels are relatively stable in healthy individuals, but fluctuations may signal underlying health conditions, including:
- Vitamin A deficiency
- Undernutrition
- Diabetes
- Renal dysfunction

Gentian Retinol-Binding Protein Immunoassay
Gentian’s instrument-independent turbidimetric assay is designed for quantitative determination of Retinol-Binding Protein in plasma and serum, featuring liquid reagents ready for use. Whether for routine testing or research applications, Gentian’s assay fits seamlessly into diverse laboratory workflows.
The assay boasts high precision with a coefficient of variation (CV) below 5% and a limit of quantification (LoQ) at 7.81 mg/L. The measuring range extends from 7.8 to 139 mg/L, making it suitable for various clinical needs.
- Instrument independent
- FDA Exempt
- CE-marked, UKCA-marked
