CRBP II rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: retinol binding protein 2(RBP2) Homo sapiens This gene encodes an abundant protein present in the small intestinal epithelium. It is thought to participate in the uptake and/or intracellular metabolism of vitamin A. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin necessary for growth, reproduction, differentiation of epithelial tissues, and vision. This protein may also modulate the supply of retinoic acid to the nuclei of endometrial cells during the menstrual cycle. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015],domain:Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates hydrophobic ligands in its interior.,function:Intracellular transport of retinol.,similarity:Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.,tissue specificity:Higher expression in adult small intestine and to a much lesser extent in fetal kidney.,
