small hydrophobic ligands. There are two types of CRABPs, CRABP I and CRABP II. They seem to play a role in controlling Retinoic Acid(RA)-mediated differentiation and proliferation processes [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8756459?dopt=Abstract/]. During embryonic development, the spatial and temporal expression of the CRABP gene appears to be strictly regulated [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2547683]. Therefore, it has been suggested that CRABP could be involved in the formation of gradients of RA across various developing tissues. Although the structure of CRABP I is similar to the cellular retinol-binding proteins, it binds only retinoic acid at specific sites within the nucleus, which may contribute to vitamin A-directed differentiation in epithelial tissue.

'''Epididymal RABP (ERABP)''' is an androgen-dependent RABP present in the lumen of the epididymis believed to be involved in sperm maturation.  ERABP binds specifically all-trans- and 9-cis-RA.

*'''CRABP I''' is expressed during embryogenesis and also in adult tissues.
*'''CRABP II''' is expressed in skin embryogenesis.
*'''CRABP IV''' promotes oxidative stress by decreasing endothelial mitochondrial function.


Proteins in iLBP family have very high structural conservation despite having very low sequence identities [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14696180]. Similar to other members of the iLBP family, <scene name='CRABP_I_(_Cellular_Retinoic_Acid_Binding_Protein_)/Monomercrabpi/2'>CRABP I</scene> [http://www.pdb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=1CBI (PDBID: 1CBI)] has two orthogonal five-stranded <scene name='CRABP_I_(_Cellular_Retinoic_Acid_Binding_Protein_)/Monomercrabpi/4'> β-sheets</scene> with a <scene name='CRABP_I_(_Cellular_Retinoic_Acid_Binding_Protein_)/Monomercrabpi/19'>helix-turn-helix</scene> between the first and the second β-strands,showing &alpha;+&beta;
secondary domains.  It contains a very large solvent accessible central cavity that binds <scene name='CRABP_I_(_Cellular_Retinoic_Acid_Binding_Protein_)/1cbs_molecularplayground/5'>retinoic acid</scene> [http://www.pdb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=1CBS (PDBID: 1CBS)].  This conserved <scene name='CRABP_I_(_Cellular_Retinoic_Acid_Binding_Protein_)/Monomercrabpi/6'>gap</scene> is contained between strand 4 and 5 and has no inter-strand hydrogen bonds but is compensated by the presence of ordered water molecules.  The helix-turn-helix motif between the first and second strands acts as a <scene name='CRABP_I_(_Cellular_Retinoic_Acid_Binding_Protein_)/Monomercrabpi/7'>'lid'</scene> on the ligand binding pocket.  Strands 7 and 8 are connected by the <scene name='CRABP_I_(_Cellular_Retinoic_Acid_Binding_Protein_)/Monomercrabpi/9'>omega loop</scene> which has variable lengths within the family.  There are 15 fully <scene name='CRABP_I_(_Cellular_Retinoic_Acid_Binding_Protein_)/Monomercrabpi/10'>conserved</scene> residues in CRABP I, seven are found in the helix I and II and 5 are in the β-barrel closure [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16477649].

This region of the protein referred to as the “portal” region of the protein has been extensively studied in other members of the iLBP family, in particular in the fatty acid binding protein, by X-ray crystallography, mutational analysis and multidimensional NMR [http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bi961890r].
