Name Fatty acid-binding protein, intestinal
Synonyms
  1. Fatty acid-binding protein 2
  2. I-FABP
  3. Intestinal-type fatty acid-binding protein
Gene Name FABP2
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in binding
Specific Function FABP are thought to play a role in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA esters. FABP2 is probably involved in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein synthesis. Binds saturated long-chain fatty acids with a high affinity, but binds with a lower affinity to unsaturated long- chain fatty acids. FABP2 may also help maintain energy homeostasis by functioning as a lipid sensor
