TLDR
A short summary is provided of the latest developments in this research area of cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding proteins, thought to function in the transmembrane transport of fatty acids.Abstract:
A number of cellular fatty acid-binding proteins are being implicated in the uptake and intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids by parenchymal cells. Having been a topic of research for more than 20 years, cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding proteins now are assigned various pivotal functions in intracellular fatty acid transport and metabolism. More recently several membrane-associated fatty acid-binding proteins have been identified and these proteins are thought to function in the transmembrane transport of fatty acids. In this review, a short summary is provided of the latest developments in this research area.read more

Fatty acid import into mitochondria.
Janos Kerner,Charles L. Hoppel +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that contact sites between the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes form a microenvironment which facilitates the carnitine transport system and includes the long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase and porin as components.

Placental Regulation of Fatty Acid Delivery and its Effect on Fetal Growth—A Review
TL;DR: There is little evidence to suggest that placental delivery of fatty acids limits normal fetal growth although the importance of the in utero supply may be to support post-natal development as most of the LCPUFA accumulated by the fetus is stored in the adipose tissue for use in early post- prenatal life.

Membrane transport of long-chain fatty acids: evidence for a facilitated process
TL;DR: This review summarizes the body of work that has accumulated related to the mechanism of fatty acid transport and evidence in support of a facilitated uptake process is presented with relation to the different cell types or membrane systems where it was collected.

CD36 is a receptor for oxidized low density lipoprotein.
TL;DR: CD36 may play a role in scavenging LDL modified by oxidation and may mediate effects of OxLDL on monocytes and platelets in atherosclerotic lesions.

Cloning of a rat adipocyte membrane protein implicated in binding or transport of long-chain fatty acids that is induced during preadipocyte differentiation. Homology with human CD36.
TL;DR: The data suggest that FAT and CD36 belong to a family of proteins that bind/transport long-chain fatty acids or function as regulators of these processes.

Expression cloning and characterization of a novel adipocyte long chain fatty acid transport protein.
TL;DR: Immunocytochemistry and subcellular fractionation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes show that FATP is localized to the plasma membrane, and it is proposed thatfatP is a plasma membrane transporter for LCFAs.

A binding protein for fatty acids in cytosol of intestinal mucosa, liver, myocardium, and other tissues.
TL;DR: A protein of molecular weight ∼ 12,000 which binds long-chain fatty acids and certain other lipids has been identified in cytosol of intestinal mucosa, liver, myocardium, adipose tissue, and kidney and appears to be identical with the smaller of two previously described cytoplasmic anion-binding proteins.
