CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TRIGONAL FORM OF HUMAN PLASMA RETINOL-BINDING PROTEIN AT 2.5 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTIONCRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TRIGONAL FORM OF HUMAN PLASMA RETINOL-BINDING PROTEIN AT 2.5 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION

Structural highlights 1brq is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.5Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT 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. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
