Background :

Retinol-binding protein 4, also known as Plasma retinol-binding protein (PRBP or RBP), and encoded by the gene name RBP4, is a member of the Lipocalin family. RBP4 plays an essential role in the transport of vitamin A; however, research has demonstrated that blood levels of RBP4 is closely linked with the development of insulin resistance, which predisposes individuals to type 2 diabetes and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. RBP4 may be a useful biomarker in identifying a predisposition to type 2 diabetes and measuring therapeutic improvement. Mutations in RBP4 have been associated with Retinal dystrophy, iris coloboma, and comedogenic acne syndrome.
