Gene information for CRABP1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1381
Official gene symbolCRABP1
Full namecellular retinoic acid binding protein 1
Aliases,CRABP,CRABP-I,CRABPI,RBP5,
Gene 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.
