Anti-CRABP2 / Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2 is a cytoplasmic binding protein that in humans is encoded by the CRABP2 gene. This gene encodes a member of the retinoic acid (RA, a form of vitamin A) binding protein family and lipocalin/cytosolic fatty-acid binding protein family. The protein is a cytosol-to-nuclear shuttling protein, which facilitates RA binding to its cognate receptor complex and transfer to the nucleus. It is involved in the retinoid signaling pathway, and is associated with increased circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. Protein function: Transports retinoic acid to the nucleus. Regulates the access of retinoic acid to the nuclear retinoic acid receptors. [The UniProt Consortium]
