Delivers retinoic acid to the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta; that promotes proliferation and survival. May also function as a synaptic provider of endocannabinoid at central synapses and thus controls retrograde endocannabinoid signaling.

Keratinocytes; highly expressed in psoriatic skin.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell junction, synapse. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density. Secreted. Localizes primarily to the cytoplasm. Upon certain ligand binding, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into nucleus (PubMed:24692551). Secreted by astrocytes, but not by neurons (By similarity).
