Summary of RBP4
A protein that binds to and 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.
It's better to have this gene increased
most of the time.
