A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of CRABP2 antibody, Alternative Names: CRABP2 control peptide, CRABP2 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-CRABP2 Blocking Peptide, Cellular Retinoic Acid Binding Protein 2 Blocking Peptide, CRABP-II Blocking Peptide, RBP6 Blocking Peptide
A number of specific carrier proteins for members of the vitamin A family have been discovered. Cellular retinoic acid binding proteins (CRABP) are low molecular weight proteins whose precise function remains unknown. The inducibility of the CRABP2 geneuggests that this isoform is important in retinoic acid-mediated regulation of human skin growth and differentiation. It has been postulated that the CRABP2 gene is transcriptionally regulated by a newly synthesized regulatory protein.
