RLBP1 retinaldehyde binding protein 1

Gene ID: 6017, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CRALBP

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a 36-kD water-soluble protein which carries 11-cis-retinaldehyde or 11-cis-retinal as physiologic ligands. It may be a functional component of the visual cycle. Mutations of this gene have been associated with severe rod-cone dystrophy, Bothnia dystrophy (nonsyndromic autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa) and retinitis punctata albescens.
