Recombinant Rat Retinol Binding Protein 4, Plasma, FLAG-tagged

• Cat.No.: Rbp4-2388R
• Product Overview: RecombinantRat RBP4 (retinol binding protein 4) (aa 19-201) is fused at the N-terminus to a FLAG-tag. It is Expressed inHEK 293 cells.

Specification

• Species: Rat
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: Flag
• Protein Length: 19-201 a.a.
• 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.
