FABP2 - fatty acid binding protein 2 Gene
Also Known as FABPI; I-FABP
Species: Homo sapiens
About FABP2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 263 orthologues and 15 paralogues. Biased expression in small intestine (RPKM 287.0), duodenum (RPKM 142.3) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is an intracellular fatty acid-binding protein that participates in the uptake, intracellular metabolism, and transport of long-chain fatty acids. The encoded protein is also involved in the modulation of cell growth and proliferation. This protein binds saturated long-chain fatty acids with high affinity, and may act as a lipid sensor to maintain energy homeostasis. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
