Summary: Predicted to enable retinol binding activity. Acts upstream of or within liver development and response to retinoic acid. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including apical ectodermal ridge; digestive system; integument; reproductive system; and yolk.

What's a GeneRIF?

these data support the model thatretinol binding protein 4 and retinoic acid precursors are present within the CSF and used for synthesis of retinoic acid, which promotes embryonic neuroepithelial survival

YSL-expressed Rbp4 plays a role in formation of both yolk extension and liver bud, the latter may also require migration of liver progenitor cells
Title: Localized rbp4 expression in the yolk syncytial layer plays a role in yolk cell extension and early liver development.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
