Research AreasSignal Transduction

Function

Retinol-binding protein that mediates retinol transport in blood plasma. Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. Transfers the bound all-trans retinol to STRA6, that then facilitates retinol transport across the cell membrane.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Detected in blood plasma (at protein level)

Protein Biology

Function

Retinol-binding protein that mediates retinol transport in blood plasma. Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues (PubMed:4708098). Transfers the bound all-trans retinol to STRA6, that then facilitates retinol transport across the cell membrane (By similarity)

Subcellular Location

Secreted

Tissue Specificity

Detected in blood plasma (at protein level)

Subunit

Interacts with TTR (PubMed:4708098). Interaction with TTR prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli (Probable). Interacts with STRA6 (By similarity)
