Disease

RET4_HUMAN Defects in RBP4 are a cause of retinol-binding protein deficiency (RBP deficiency) [MIM:180250. This condition causes night vision problems. It produces a typical 'fundus xerophthalmicus', featuring a progressed atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium.

Function

RET4_HUMAN Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma, the RBP-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin, this prevents its loss by filtration through the kidney glomeruli.
