General description

Retinaldehyde binding protein 1 (RLBP1) mapped to human chromosome 15q26, encodes cellular retinaldehyde-binding protein (CRALBP).1 RLBP1 is a 36kDa water soluble protein and is expressed exclusively in retina and pineal gland.
The protein encoded by this gene is a 36kDa water-soluble protein which carries 11-cis-retinaldehyde or 11-cis-retinal as physiologic ligands. It may be a functional component of the visual cycle. Mutations of this gene have been associated with severe rod-cone dystrophy, Bothnia dystrophy (nonsyndromic autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa) and retinitis punctata albescens.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Retinaldehyde binding protein 1 (RLBP1) plays a vital role in mammalian vision by directing 11-cis-retinoids for the conversion of photobleached opsin molecules into photosensitive visual pigments. Genetic variations in the gene leads to various autosomal recessive progressive retinopathy, including Bothnia dystrophy (BD) and retinitis, punctata albescens (RPA), Newfoundland rod-cone dystrophy (NFRCD), retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and fundus albipunctatus (FA).
