  • Official Name: retinol binding protein 1
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 5947
  • UniProt: P09455
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed

Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: This gene encodes the carrier protein involved in the transport of retinol (vitamin A alcohol) from the liver storage site to peripheral tissue. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin necessary for growth, reproduction, differentiation of epithelial tissues, and vision. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008].
  • UniProt Summary: Cytoplasmic retinol-binding protein (PubMed:22665496, PubMed:26900151, PubMed:28057518). Accepts retinol from the transport protein STRA6, and thereby contributes to retinol uptake, storage and retinoid homeostasis (PubMed:15632377, PubMed:22665496). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15632377, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22665496, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26900151, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28057518}.
