Product Specific Information
Human plasma RBP4. All MAbs recognize free RBP4 and RBP4 in complex with transthyretin. All MAbs react with apo- as well as holo-RBP4.
Target Information
This protein belongs to the lipocalin family and is the specific carrier for retinol in the blood. It delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin which prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. A deficiency of vitamin A blocks secretion of the binding protein post translationally and results in defective delivery and supply to the epidermal cells.
