Fatty acid-binding protein

TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: expression levels of E-FABP were low in normal epidermis, higher in human cultured keratinocytes and still higher in psoriasis, suggesting that epidermal cells may have a distinct fatty acid metabolism compared to other tissues.

TL;DR: This review introduces several isoforms of FABPs (FABP1-12) and summarizes their function and their possible roles in cancer development through some proposed mechanisms.

TL;DR: The role of the peritumoural adipose tissue and the related adipokines FABp4 and FABP5 in cancer initiation and progression and the possible pathways implicated in these processes are discussed.

TL;DR: A simple experimental system was developed for studying the movement of long-chain fatty acids between multilamellar liposomes and soluble proteins capable of binding fatty acids, and it was found that the fatty acid transferred from the liposome to either protein rapidly and selectively under conditions where phospholipid and cholesterol transfer did not occur.
