Cellular retinoic acid binding protein 2 (CRABP2) is a coactivator present in the retinoic acid (RA)-dependent nuclear complex. CRABP2 has been shown to mediate retinoic acid activity in skin to influence skin cell growth and differentiation. It has also been shown to mediate the growth suppressive effects of retinoic acid in breast cancer. CRABP2's role in cell differentiation may be linked to control of the cell-cycle since it has been identified as an interacting partner of cyclin D3 in CRABPII and RAR ternary complex. Alternate names for CRABP2 include cellular retinoic acid-binding protein II, CRABP-II, retinoic acid-binding protein II, and RBP6.
