Retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) is the specific carrier for retinol (also known as vitamin A); and is responsible for the conversion of unstable and insoluble retinol in aqueous solution into stable and soluble complex in plasma through their tight interaction. As a member of the lipocalin superfamily; RBP4 containing a β-barrel structure with a well-defined cavity is secreted from the liver; and in turn delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. In plasma; the RBP4-retinol complex interacts with transthyretin (TTR); and this binding is crucial for preventing RBP4 excretion through the kidney glomeruli. RBP4 expressed from an ectopic source efficiently delivers retinol to the eyes; and its deficiency affects night vision largely. Recently; RBP4 as an adipokine; is found to be expressed in adipose tissue and correlated with obesity; insulin resistance (IR) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
