Structural highlights
1ifb is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Rattus rattus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
FABPI_RAT 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 (By similarity).
