Retinol-binding protein 2 (RBP2) binds monoacylglycerols and modulates gut endocrine signaling and body weight.

RESULTS Rbp2 absence predisposes to excessive adiposity During earlier studies of Rbp2 −/− mice ( 24 ), we noticed a trend for 3- to 4-month-old male Rbp2 −/− mice to have greater body weights than matched wild-type (WT) mice when the mice were maintained on a conventional chow diet; this trend did not reach statistical significance.
