Retinol-binding proteins (RBP) are a family of proteins with diverse functions. They are retinol-binding carrier proteins. Retinoic acid and retinol are essential for embryo development, since they affect the expression of genes and the entire process. However, when there is a deficit or an overabundance of either one of these, the early embryo may die or develop abnormalities as a result. RBP regulates the transport and metabolism of retinol throughout pregnancy, ensuring a successful pregnancy. Retinol binding proteins have been discovered in the uterus, embryo, and extraembryonic tissue of cattle, sheep, and pigs, suggesting that retinol intake to the fetus and transport at the maternal-fetal interface are dependent on them. Human RBP2 Recombinant Protein is a highly pure recombinant protein developed by Assay Genie for use in a range of applications.
