Target Details for FABP4

Target: FABP4 (Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4, Adipocyte (FABP4))

Alternative Name: FABP4

Background:

Protein Function: Lipid transport protein in adipocytes. Binds both long chain fatty acids and retinoic acid. Delivers long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid to their cognate receptors in the nucleus (By similarity). .

Background: FABP4, also known as aP2 (adipocyte Protein 2), encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes. The FABP4 gene is mapped to 8q21. FABP4 functions as a cytosolic lipid chaperone in macrophages and is involved in regulating macrophage endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Aditionally, FABP4 protein is expressed in HBEs and is strongly upregulated by both IL4 and IL13 and downregulated by IFN-gamma, suggesting a role in allergic airway inflammation.

Synonyms: Fatty acid-binding protein, adipocyte,Adipocyte lipid-binding protein,ALBP,Adipocyte-type fatty acid-binding protein,A-FABP,AFABP,Fatty acid-binding protein 4,FABP4,

Full Gene Name: Fatty acid-binding protein, adipocyte

Cellular Localisation: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Depending on the nature of the ligand, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into the nucleus. Subject to constitutive nuclear export (By similarity)..
