Gene Information

human ... RBP1(5947)

Retinol Binding Protein (RBP) is a member of lipocalin superfamily. The normal concentration of RBP in serum is 40 to 50 μg/mL and has a molecular weight of 21 kDa. It has a turnover rate of 4 to 24 h. RBP is produced in the liver in response to retinol binding trigger. It is also produced in kidney, sertoli cells of testis. RBP contains a single globular domain and a highly conserved N-terminal region. It has eight antiparallel β sheets in the centre which binds retinol. In human chromosome, the gene encoding RBP is localised at 3q23.
