domain:Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates hydrophobic ligands in its interior.,function:Transports retinoic acid to the nucleus. Regulates the access of retinoic acid to the nuclear retinoic acid receptors.,induction:By retinoic acid.,similarity:Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.,subcellular location:Upon ligand binding, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into the nucleus.,subunit:Interacts with RXR and RARA (By similarity). Interacts with importin alpha.,
Cytoplasm. Endoplasmic reticulum. Nucleus. Upon ligand binding, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into the nucleus.
