The primary transporter of retinol (vitamin A) to tissues and an adipokine linking GLUT4 suppression in adipose tissue to insulin

Biomolecule/Target: RBP4

Alternates names: Retinol Binding Protein 4, Plasma retinol-binding protein, PRBP, RBP

Synonyms: Retinol Binding Protein 4, Plasma retinol-binding protein, PRBP, RBP

Background Information: Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4; RBP) is a 21 kDa secreted protein, a member of the lipocalin family and is known as the primary transporter of retinol (vitamin A) to tissues. A recent report revealed RBP4 as an adipokine linking glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) suppression in adipose tissue to insulin. Elevated human and mouse serum RBP4 levels are associated with insulin resistance and its severity, obesity, and certain components of metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, human serum RBP4 levels are closely related to renal function.
