DESCRIPTION

Also known as RET4_PIG, RBP4. Retinol-binding protein that mediates retinol transport in blood plasma. Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. Transfers the bound all-trans retinol to STRA6, that then facilitates retinol transport across the cell membrane. Interacts with TTR. Interaction with TTR prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. Interacts with STRA6.
