The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) comprise a family of 14–15 kDa proteins
which bind long-chain fatty acids. A role for FABPs in fatty acid transport has been …

The link between inflammation and the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes,
and atherosclerosis has been uncovered in the past decade. Although the molecular …

The fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) constitute a conserved group of cytosolic low
molecular mass proteins, which consists of several types: liver, heart, myelin, epidermal …

The enterocyte expresses two fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP), intestinal FABP (IFABP;
FABP2) and liver FABP (LFABP; FABP1). LFABP is also expressed in liver. Despite ligand …

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABP s) act as intracellular carriers of lipid molecules, and play
a role in global metabolism regulation. Liver FABP (L‐FABP) is prominent among FABP s for …

Fatty acids are important molecules for all cells either as energy-delivering substrates or as
precursors for synthesis of membrane lipids and lipid mediators such as thromboxanes …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the properties and physiological significance of
fatty acid binding properties. Fatty acid binding proteins (FABP) are found in many tissues of …

The human intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) belongs to a family of intracellular
lipid binding proteins. This 15 kDa protein binds dietary long-chain fatty acids in the cytosol …

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are proteins that reversibly bind fatty acids and other
lipids. So far, nine tissue-specific cytoplasmic FABPs have been identified. Adipose tissue …

Cytosolic long-chain fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are found in tissues that metabolize
fatty acids. Like most lipid binding proteins, their specific functions remain unclear. Two …
