Extra Details:: RBP4, also known as plasma retinol-binding protein, is a member of the lipocalin superfamily that solubilizes and stabilizes retinol (vitamin A) for transport to the peripheral tissues. RBP4 shows retinol-dependent secretion by the liver, and its deficiency causes night blindness. In plasma, the 183 aa RBP4-retinol complexes with transthyretin (TTR), previously known as thyroxine-binding prealbumin, which prevents loss during glomerular filtration. Human and mouse RBP4 share 86% aa identity. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
