Title: Bile Acid-binding Protein from Soybean Seed: Isolation, Partial Characterization and Insulin-stimulating Activity

This protein was the major component of a fraction which was adsorbed on cholic acid-conjugated Sepharose 4B, and is suggested to interact with bile salt anions in a specific fashion. The protein had no insulin-like activity perse, but it enhanced the in vitro inhibitory action of insulin on fat decomposition that was accelerated by epinephrine in rat adipose cells.Read More
