TLDR
F fetal liver FABPs play a regulatory role in critical aspects of cellular physiology during human embryogenesis and protect glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from the feed-back inhibition exerted by added palmitoyl-CoA and oleate.

Structural and functional features of different types of cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding proteins

TL;DR: Article de synthese sur les donnees recentes de caracteristiques structurales et physicochimiques de divers types of proteines de liaison aux acides gras, avec la signification physiologique de ces diversites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functions of fatty acid binding proteins.

TL;DR: A considerable body of indirect evidence is provided supporting a broad role for the FABP in the intracellular transport and metabolism of long-chain fatty acids and the existence of structure- and tissue-specific specialization of function among different members of the F ABP gene family.

Fatty acid binding protein isoforms: structure and function

TL;DR: Which FABPs form biochemically defined or true isoforms versus FABP that form additional forms, operationally defined as isoforms, is critically evaluated.

Acyl-CoA binding proteins: Multiplicity and function

TL;DR: The identity, nature, function, and pathobiology of these fascinating newly discovered long-chain fatty acyl-CoA binding proteins are explored.

Isoforms of rat liver fatty acid binding protein differ in structure and affinity for fatty acids and fatty acyl CoAs.

TL;DR: Rat L-FABP isoforms differ markedly in both structure and ligand binding function, and displacement studies indicated that each isoform displayed distinct specificities for fatty acid/fatty acyl CoA chain length and unsaturation.

On the importance of being ionized.

TL;DR: A survey of metabolic reactions discloses that all the known lowmolecular weight and water-soluble biosynthetic intermediates possess groups that are essentially completely ionized at neutral pH, which should have value in guiding investigation of undisclosed biosynthesis reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel acyl-CoA-binding protein from bovine liver. Effect on fatty acid synthesis.

TL;DR: Bovine liver was shown to contain a hitherto undescribed medium-chain acyl-CoA-binding protein that co-purifies with fatty-acid-binding proteins, but was, unlike these proteins, unable to bind fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue expression of three structurally different fatty acid binding proteins from rat heart muscle, liver, and intestine.

TL;DR: Three structurally different 14-15 kDa fatty acid binding proteins have have been purified from rat liver, small intestinal epithelium, and heart muscle, and were quantitated using specific antisera in rat tissues to suggest that they may perform different specific functions in fatty acid transport and metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and characterization of the three fractions (DE‐I, DE‐II and DE‐III) of rat‐liver Z‐protein and the complete primary structure of DE‐II

TL;DR: The complete sequence of Z-protein showed striking homology to cellular retinoid binding proteins and peripheral nerve myelin P2 protein, which indicated the presence of a new family of cellular lipid-binding proteins diverged from a common ancestor.
