Name | FABP4 |
---|---|
Function | Lipid transport protein in adipocytes. Binds both long chain fatty acids and retinoic acid. Delivers long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid to their cognate receptors in the nucleus. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04117}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04117}. Note=Depending on the nature of the ligand, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into the nucleus. Subject to constitutive nuclear export. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04117} |

Background
Fatty Acid-binding Proteins (FABP) are a family of homologous 14-15 kDa cytoplasmic proteins that are expressed in highly tissue-specific manner and play an integral role in the balance between lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. FABPs have been reported to be involved in the uptake and metabolism of fatty acids, maintenance of cellular membrane fatty acids levels, intracellular trafficking, modulation of specific enzymes of lipid metabolic pathways, as well as in the modulation of cell growth and differentiation.
