Summary: Enables retinol binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; gluconeogenesis; and negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception; retinoid metabolic process; and terpenoid transport. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; brain; genitourinary system; gut; and hindlimb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human RBP4 (retinol binding protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Also during a high-fat diet challenge, elevated levels of RBP4 in the circulation failed to aggravate the worsening of systemic parameters of glucose and energy homeostasis. These findings show that liver-secreted RBP4 does not impair glucose homeostasis. We conclude that a modest increase of its circulating levels in mice, as observed in the obese, insulin-resistant state, is unlikely to be a causative factor for impaire

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
