Recombinant Human RBP4 Protein

• Cat.No.: RBP4-0049H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human RBP4 Protein without tag was expressed in HEK293.

Specification

• Description: 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 which prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli. A deficiency of vitamin A blocks secretion of the binding protein posttranslationally and results in defective delivery and supply to the epidermal cells.
• Source: HEK293 cells
• Species: Human
• Applications: ELISA, CLIA, CG
• Notes: For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedure.
• Storage: Short term (up to 7 days) store at 2–8 centigrade. Long term, store at - 20 centigrade. Avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles.

Q&As

Can RBP4 levels help predict the risk of developing certain cancers?

Studies have indicated a link between elevated RBP4 levels and a decreased risk of certain cancers, although more research is needed in this area.

Does RBP4 play a role in neurodegenerative diseases?

Some studies suggest a potential association between RBP4 levels and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease.

How is RBP4 involved in pregnancy?

RBP4 has been investigated in gestational diabetes, showing potential as a marker for metabolic complications during pregnancy.

Is RBP4 considered a reliable biomarker in clinical practice?

While RBP4 shows promise as a biomarker, its clinical utility is still under investigation and requires further validation.

Are there gender-specific differences in RBP4 levels?

Yes, research has shown that RBP4 levels can differ between genders, potentially affecting metabolic health differently.
