Record overview

LMPD IDLMP002610
Gene ID1381
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namecellular retinoic acid binding protein 1
Gene SymbolCRABP1
SynonymsCRABP; CRABP-I; CRABPI; RBP5
Chromosome15
Map Location15q24
SummaryThis 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.
