Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Retinol-binding protein (RBP) is responsible for transporting vitamin A from the liver to other tissues. RBP is synthesized in the liver and binds to retinol (vitamin A) to form a complex, which then travels in the blood to other tissues. Once at the target tissue, retinol dissociates from RBP and is taken up by the cells.
