REFINEMENT OF THE STRUCTURE OF RECOMBINANT RAT INTESTINAL FATTY ACID-BINDING APOPROTEIN AT 1.2 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTIONREFINEMENT OF THE STRUCTURE OF RECOMBINANT RAT INTESTINAL FATTY ACID-BINDING APOPROTEIN AT 1.2 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION
Structural highlights
FunctionFABPI_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). Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
