TLDR
Rat liver cytosol contains proteins and smaller molecules that affect activities of the microsomal enzymes of cholesterol biosynthesis, and one protein appears to be very similar to Z-protein that has been shown by others to be identical with hepatic fatty-acid binding protein.

Fatty acid binding protein. Isolation from rat liver, characterization, and immunochemical quantification.

TL;DR: The abundance of FABP, its importance in the cytosolic binding of endogenous as well as exogenous fatty acids, and its demonstrated correlation with rates of hepatocyte fatty acid utilization provide additional evidence for its relationship to the cellular metabolism of long chain fatty acids.

The nucleotide sequence of rat liver fatty acid binding protein mRNA.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented which suggests that this protein is targeted to the cytoplasm, and no cleavable signal peptide sequence or internal signal sequence equivalent was detectable in a co-translational cleavage assay.

Regulation of the biosynthesis of two distinct fatty acid-binding proteins in rat liver and intestine. Influences of sex difference and of clofibrate.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the influence of sex difference and the effect of clofibrate on hepatic fatty acid metabolism are both associated with changes in hFABP synthesis mediated pretranslationally.
