'''Fatty acid-binding protein''' (FABP) are carrier proteins for fatty acids and other lipophilic substances. They facilitate the transfer of fatty acids between extra- and intracellular membranes. FABS coordinate lipid trafficking and signaling in cells<ref>PMID:16424607</ref>. Various FABS differ in their tissue expression. | '''Fatty acid-binding protein''' (FABP) are carrier proteins for fatty acids and other lipophilic substances.
