other info1 :
Immunogen: Synthetic peptide taken within third large intra cytoplasmic loop within amino acid region 450-500 on human Stra6 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.

products description :
Affinity Purified Retinoic acid-responsive protein Antibody. 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.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein involved in the metabolism of retinol. The encoded protein acts as a receptor for retinol/retinol binding protein complexes. This protein removes the retinol from the complex and transports it across the cell membrane. Defects in this gene are a cause of syndromic microphthalmia type 9 (MCOPS9). Several transcript variants encoding a few different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
uniprot summary :
STRA6: 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. Increases cellular retinol uptake from the retinol-RBP complex. Defects in STRA6 are the cause of microphthalmia syndromic type 9 (MCOPS9); also called Matthew-Wood syndrome or Spear syndrome. Microphthalmia is a clinically heterogeneous disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues (anophthalmia). In many cases, microphthalmia/anophthalmia occurs in association with syndromes that include non-ocular abnormalities. MCOPS9 is a rare clinical entity including as main characteristics anophthalmia or severe microphthalmia, and pulmonary hypoplasia or aplasia. Mutations in STRA6 may be a cause of isolated colobomatous microphthalmia, a disorder of the eye characterized by an abnormally small ocular globe. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
