| basic FUNCTION
| retinol-binding protein receptor may be a component of an as yet unidentified transport machinery |
|
involved in vitamin A metabolism, and implicated in anophthalmia and microphthalmia developmental abnormalities  |
|
multitransmembrane domain protein, and specific membrane receptor for retinol binding protein (RBP) |
|
functioning as the high-affinity receptor for plasma retinol binding protein (RBP) and mediates cellular uptake of vitamin A from the vitamin A-RBP complex |
|
transmembrane receptor involved in vitamin A uptake, a process essential to eye development and growth |
|
transports vitamin A from its blood carrier retinol binding protein (RBP) into cells, and it also functions as a cytokine receptor which activates JAK/STAT signaling |
|
appears to be a founding member of a new class of proteins that may be termed "cytokine signaling transporters" |
|
catalyzes efficient retinol exchange between intracellular RBP1 and extracellular retinol binding protein, even in the presence of holo-RBP |
|
retinoic acid (RA)-inducible gene encoding the cellular receptor for holo-retinol binding protein |
|
RBP4 and its membrane receptor STRA6 coordinate cellular retinol uptake |
