Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
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. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11023988}.
Subcellular Localization Cytoplasm.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Expressed in the small intestine. Highest expression levels in the proximal ileum. {ECO:0000269PubMed:9277406}.
