Description
Predicted to have retinol binding activity. Involved in liver development and response to retinoic acid. Predicted to localize to extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is expressed in several structures, including apical ectodermal ridge; digestive system; integument; reproductive system; and yolk. Orthologous to human RBP4 (retinol binding protein 4).
