Background: The cellular retinoic acid-binding protein II (CRABP-II), together with nuclear receptors such as the retinoid X receptor (RXR) and retinoic acid receptor (RAR), is involved in the transcriptional regulation of genes that control lipid metabolism via the retinoid signaling pathway and, as such, may be associated with disorders of lipid metabolism...
