Glossary Cellular Retinoic Acid-Binding Protein 2

protein that regulates retinoic acid's effects in cells

Cellular Retinoic Acid-Binding Protein 2 (CRABP2) is a protein that binds to retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, and helps regulate its availability and activity within cells. This protein plays a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis, making it important in processes like skin health and hair growth.
