Disease relevance of CRBP1

The amount of cellular retinol-binding protein was also decreased considerably in cytosols from 9618 and 7777 hepatomas [1].

High impact information on CRBP1

Three proteins involved in 1) serum transport of retinol (retinol binding protein [RBP]), 2) cellular transport and metabolism of retinol (cellular RBP [CRBP] I), and 3) retinoic acid (cellular retinoic acid binding protein [CRABP] I), respectively, have been located by immunohistochemistry during gestation in the porcine placenta [2].
Both proteins were present also at the interareolar regions, with ir-CRBP in both the uterine epithelium and the apposing trophoblasts, but ir-RBP only in the former [2].
