| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 19659 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables all-trans-retinol binding activity. Involved in lipid storage; maintenance of location in cell; and retinoid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within regulation of granulocyte differentiation; response to vitamin A; and retinoid metabolic process. Located in lipid droplet. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple myeloma. Orthologous to human RBP1 (retinol binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation show increased susceptibility to a diet deficient in vitamin A. Mutants also exhibit a two-fold delay in dark adaptation after a photic flash.
