Overview

May act as a high-affinity cell-surface receptor for the complex retinol-retinol binding protein (RBP/RBP4). Acts by removing retinol from RBP/RBP4 and transports it across the plasma membrane, where it can be metabolized. This mechanism does not depend on endocytosis. Binds to RBP/RBP4 with high affinity.

Molecular Function

Receptor, Receptor activity

Subcellular Location

Cell membarane; Multi-pass membrane protein

Expression

Widely expressed in the embryo. In the adult, is highly expressed in cells that compose blood-organ barriers in the brain (choroid plexus and the brain microvascular), in the eye (retinal pigment epithelium), in testis (the basal layer of the seminiferous epithelium), in the yolk sac, and in the chorioallantoic placenta (at protein level). Also detected in kidney, spleen, and female genital tract; and at lower levels in heart and lung.
