Gene:
fatty acid binding protein 4, adipocyte
Gene ID:
207187
Symbol:
FABP4
Species:
1000
Description:
FABP4 encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism.
