Cellular fatty acid uptake is facilitated by a number of fatty acid transporters, FAT/CD36,
FABPpm and FATP1. It had been presumed that FABPpm, was confined to the plasma …

Protein-mediated LCFA transport across plasma membranes is highly regulated by the fatty
acid transporters FAT/CD36 and FABPpm. Physiologic stimuli (insulin stimulation, AMP …

Fatty acids are a major source of energy for cardiac myocytes. Changes in fatty acid
metabolism have been implicated as causal in diabetes and cardiac disease. The …

There is substantial molecular, biochemical and physiologic evidence that long-chain fatty
acid transport involves a protein-mediated process. A number of fatty acid transport proteins …

Long chain fatty acid uptake across the plasma membrane occurs, in part, via a protein-
mediated process involving a number of fatty acid binding proteins known as fatty acid …

Cellular long-chain fatty acid uptake is believed to occur largely by protein-mediated
transmembrane transport of fatty acids, and also by passive diffusional uptake. It is …

Cardiac uptake of long-chain fatty acids (FA) is mediated predominantly by two membrane-
associated proteins, the 43-kDa plasma membrane fatty acid-binding protein (FABPpm) and …

Long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) provide 70-80% of the energy for cardiac contractile activity.
LCFAs are also essential for many other cellular functions, such as transcriptional regulation …

Despite decades of extensive research, the transport routes, mechanisms of uptake and
points of flux control of long-chain fatty acids (FA) in mammalian organs are still incompletely …

It has been assumed that the uptake of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) into skeletal muscle
and the heart muscle, as well as other tissues, occurred via passive diffusion. In recent years …
