Anti-Cellular Retonic Acid Binding Protein 1 (CRABP1)

CRABP1 (cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 1) is a member of specific carrier proteins for members of the vitamin A family. CRABP1 is assumed to play an important role in retinoic acid-mediated differentiation and proliferation processes. CRABP1 is structurally similar to the cellular retinol-binding proteins, but binds only retinoic acid. It is constitutively expressed and is believed to have different functions in the cell than the related CRABP2. Interestingly, Sytenol A bakuchiol has very specific receptor specificity over retinol and has no effect on the RAR-beta and RAR-gamma receptors and down-regulates CRABP1. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:500~1000, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
