What Does CRBP Stand For?

CRBP stands for Cellular Retinol Binding Protein

Cellular Retinol Binding Protein (CRBP) is a member of the retinol-binding protein family that plays a crucial role in the intracellular transport and metabolism of vitamin A. It facilitates the binding and delivery of retinol, the alcohol form of vitamin A, to various cellular sites, thereby enabling essential physiological functions such as vision, growth, and immunity. CRBP is integral to maintaining retinoid homeostasis and is involved in the regulation of gene expression associated with vitamin A metabolism.
