Description
Product Characteristics: 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.,RBP1,CRABP-I,CRBP,CRBP1,CRBPI,RBPC,Epigenetics & Nuclear Signaling,Nuclear Receptor Signaling,Nuclear hormone receptors,Signal Transduction,RBP1
