Gene name

FABP4 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

A-FABP, aP2

Description

Fatty acid binding protein 4, adipocyte (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
