proteins
function
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:0000269|PubMed:1591332, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1591333}.
