[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RET4_HUMAN RET4_HUMAN]] Defects in RBP4 are a cause of retinol-binding protein deficiency (RBP deficiency) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/180250 180250]]. This condition causes night vision problems. It produces a typical 'fundus xerophthalmicus', featuring a progressed atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. | |||
==Function== | |||
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RET4_HUMAN 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. | |||
