    RBP2 Gene Information

    HGNC symbol
    RBP2 
    Aliases
    CRBP2; RBPC2; CRBPII; CRABP-II 
    Common name
    retinol binding protein 2 
    Entrez Id
    5948
    Description
    This gene encodes an abundant protein present in the small intestinal epithelium. It is thought to participate in the uptake and/or intracellular metabolism of vitamin A. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin necessary for growth, reproduction, differentiation of epithelial tissues, and vision. This protein may also modulate the supply of retinoic acid to the nuclei of endometrial cells during the menstrual cycle. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
