FABP5 - fatty acid binding protein 5 Gene
Also Known as EFABP; KFABP; E-FABP; PAFABP; PA-FABP
Species: Homo sapiens
About FABP5
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 447 orthologues and 15 paralogues. Biased expression in esophagus (RPKM 725.7), fat (RPKM 171.7) and 11 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in epidermal cells, and was first identified as being upregulated in psoriasis tissue. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and Other hydrophobic ligands. FABPs may play roles in fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with type 2 diabetes. The human genome contains many pseudogenes similar to this locus.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
