CRABP1 cellular retinoic acid binding protein 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 1381)

Symbol: CRABP1

Full name: cellular retinoic acid binding protein 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CRABP; CRABP-I; CRABPI; RBP5

Summary: This gene encodes a specific binding protein for a vitamin A family member and is thought to play an important role in retinoic acid-mediated differentiation and proliferation processes. It is structurally similar to the cellular retinol-binding proteins, but binds only retinoic acid at specific sites within the nucleus, which may contribute to vitamin A-directed differentiation in epithelial tissue.
