Gene information for FABP4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2167
Official gene symbolFABP4
Full namefatty acid binding protein 4, adipocyte
Aliases,A-FABP,aP2,
Gene summaryFABP4 encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. [provided by RefSeq]
