Background: This protein belongs to the lipocalin family and is the specific carrier for retinol (vitamin A alcohol) in the blood. It delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin which prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. A deficiency of vitamin A blocks secretion of the binding protein posttranslationally and results in defective delivery and supply to the epidermal cells.

Uniprot Description
RBP4: Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin, this prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. Defects in RBP4 are a cause of retinol-binding protein deficiency (RBP deficiency). This condition causes night vision problems. It produces a typical 'fundus xerophthalmicus', featuring a progressed atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.

The amino acid sequence is listed below: ERDCRVSSFR VKENFDKARF SGTWYAMAKK DPEGLFLQDN IVAEFSVDET GQMSATAKGR VRLLNNWDVC ADMVGTFTDT EDPAKFKMKY WGVASFLQKG NDDHWIVDTD YDTYAVQYSC RLLNLDGTCA DSYSFVFSRD PNGLPPEAQK IVRQRQEELC LARQYRLIVH NGYCDGRSER NLL. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "RBP4, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
