Function
FABPs 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.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in the small intestine and at much lower levels in the large intestine. Highest expression levels in the jejunum
