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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Utilization of long chain fatty acids by rat liver: studies of the role of fatty acid binding protein.

TL;DR: Although its possible role as a fatty acid "carrier" remains uncertain, FABP influences the activity of enzyme reactions in which fatty acid and fatty acid acyl CoA are substrates, is associated with large quantities of endogenous unsaturated fatty acids, and may be important in the utilization of fatty acids formed within the cell, de novo or by ester hydrolysis.

Human liver fatty acid binding protein cDNA and amino acid sequence. Functional and evolutionary implications.

TL;DR: Primary structure predictions from the primary sequence of human and rat L-FABP reveal a region (residues 12-30) that might be the putative fatty acid binding domain of the two L-fABPs.

Deficiency of Hepatic Organic Anion-Binding Protein, Impaired Organic Anion Uptake by Liver and Physiologic Jaundice in Newborn Monkeys

TL;DR: It is suggested that relative deficiency of Y, the main acceptor protein, may be important in the etiology of "physiologic jaundice" in monkeys as well as other primates, including man.
