FABP4- Name
- fatty acid binding protein 4
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- A-FABP, AFABP, ALBP, HEL-S-104, aP2
FABP4 encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
