Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5950
Gene name Retinol binding protein 4
Gene symbol RBP4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
MCOPCB10RDCCAS
Chromosome 10
Chromosome location 10q23.33
Summary 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 whi
