Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Associates with spermatozoa in the epididymal fluid but does not bind tightly to them. Binds both all-trans and 13-cis retinoic acid. May act as a retinoid carrier protein which is required for epididymal function and/or sperm maturation. {ECO:0000269PubMed:1591332, ECO:0000269PubMed:1591333}.
Subcellular Localization Secreted {ECO:0000269PubMed:1591332, ECO:0000269PubMed:2393684}. Note=Synthesized by the mid and distal caput of the epididymis and secreted into the epididymal lumen. {ECO:0000269PubMed:1591332, ECO:0000269PubMed:2393684}.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Epididymal fluid of the caudal and corpus regions (at protein level). {ECO:0000269PubMed:14595821}.
