Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins

Adipocyte Lipid Binding Protein; Adipocyte-Specific Fatty Acid-Binding Protein; Brain-Type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein; Cytosolic Lipid-Binding Proteins; Fatty Acid-Binding Protein, Cardiac Myocyte; Fatty Acid-Binding Protein, Myocardial
Intracellular proteins that reversibly bind hydrophobic ligands including: saturated and unsaturated FATTY ACIDS; EICOSANOIDS; and RETINOIDS. They are considered a highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed family of proteins that may play a role in the metabolism of LIPIDS.
