Abstract
We previously demonstrated the presence of cellular retinoic acid binding protein II, chick-CRABP II, in chick embryos. In the present study, we investigated the distribution of chick-CRABP II in 14-day chick embryos by means of immunoblot analysis. Chick-CRABP II was expressed in skin, muscle, bone with tendon of the embryos, but not expressed in the nervous system. In adult chick tissues, chick-CRABP II was not detected on immunoblotting; Chick-CRABP II in adults amounts to less than 10 ng/mg soluble protein. These observations suggest that chick- CRABP II is an embryonic protein involved in the development of specific tissues, such as bone, muscle and skin.
