Gene information for SLC27A4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10999
Official gene symbolSLC27A4
Full namesolute carrier family 27 (fatty acid transporter), member 4
Aliases,ACSVL4,FATP4,IPS,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of a family of fatty acid transport proteins, which are involved in translocation of long-chain fatty acids cross the plasma membrane. This protein is expressed at high levels on the apical side of mature enterocytes in the small intestine, and appears to be the principal fatty acid transporter in enterocytes. Clinical studies suggest this gene as a candidate gene for the insulin resistance syndrome. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ichthyosis prematurity syndrome. [provided by RefSeq]
