FABP4 - fatty acid binding protein 4 Gene
Also Known as aP2; ALBP; AFABP; A-FABP; HEL-S-104
Species: Homo sapiens
About FABP4
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 273 orthologues and 15 paralogues. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 3748.8) and placenta (RPKM 92.5).
Summary
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]
