Recombinant Rabbit Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4), N-His

Rabbit Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) is a key protein involved in the transport of retinol (vitamin A) from the liver to peripheral tissues. It plays a crucial role in maintaining retinol homeostasis, which is essential for various physiological processes such as gene expression, epithelial maintenance, and immune function. In addition to its role in retinol transport, RBP4 has been identified as an adipokine that can modulate insulin sensitivity, although its effects on insulin resistance are still a subject of ongoing research. RBP4 is primarily produced by hepatocytes and is also expressed in adipocytes, macrophages, and myocytes. Its expression and function have been implicated in conditions such as preeclampsia, where it may affect trophoblast invasion and contribute to the pathophysiology of the disease. Overall, RBP4 is an important factor in both metabolic and immune functions in rabbits, similar to its roles in other mammals.
