ncbi summary :
This gene encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in epidermal cells, and was first identified as being upregulated in psoriasis tissue. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABPs may play roles in fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with type 2 diabetes. The human genome contains many pseudogenes similar to this locus.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
uniprot summary :
FABP5: High specificity for fatty acids. Highest affinity for C18 chain length. Decreasing the chain length or introducing double bonds reduces the affinity. May be involved in keratinocyte differentiation. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. Protein type: Lipid-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8q21.13. Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; cytoplasm; cytosol. Molecular Function: protein binding; transporter activity; fatty acid binding; lipid binding. Biological Process: epidermis development; phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process; glucose metabolic process; lipid metabolic process; glucose transport
