'''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. '''IFABP''' is intestinal; '''HFABP''' is heart-type; '''BFABP''' is brain-type; '''LFABP''' is liver-type; '''AFABP''' is adipocyte;  '''LMDABP''' is from flight muscle; '''TFABP''' is from testis.
