RBP3
Template:PBB Retinol binding protein 3, interstitial (RBP3), also known as IRBP, is encoded by a human gene[1], referenced in Ensembl under accession ENSG00000107618. RBP3 orthologs have been identified in most eutherians except tenrecs and armadillos.
The rbp3 gene is commonly used in animals as a nuclear DNA phylogenetic marker. The exon 1 has first been used in a pioneer study to provide evidence for monophyly of Chiroptera[2]. Then, it has been used to infer the phylogeny of placental mammal orders[3][4], and of the major clades of Rodentia[5], Macroscelidea[6], and Primates[7]. RBP3 is also useful at lower taxonomic levels, e.g., in muroid rodents [8]and Malagasy primates[9], at the phylogeography level in Geomys and Apodemus rodents[10][11], and even for Carnivora species identification purposes[12]). Note that the RBP3 intron 1 has also been used to investigate the platyrrhine primates phylogenetics [13].
