Fatty Acid Binding Protein-5 Definition
Expressed in keratinocytes by human FABP5 Gene (FABP Family), highly conserved 135-aa 15-kDa cytoplasmic Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 binds long-chain fatty acids with high specificity, and other hydrophobic ligands. Likely involved in fatty acid uptake, transport, or metabolism and in keratinocyte differentiation, FABP5 has highest affinity for C18 chain lengths and decreasing affinity for decreasing chain lengths or chains with double bonds. (NCI)
