products description :
FABP5 is a member of the intracellular fatty acid binding protein (FABP) family, which is known for the ability to specifically bind fatty acids (FAs) with high affinity for stearic and linoleic acids. FABP5 is expressed in endothelial cells of the microvasculature of the placenta, heart, skeletal muscle, small intestine, lung, and renal medulla. FABP4 and FABP5 are closely related and both are expressed in adipocytes. Absence of FABP5 resulted in increased systemic insulin sensitivity in two models of obesity and insulin resistance. Recombinant human FABP5 was expressed in E.coli and purified by conventional chromatography.

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.

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; glucose transport; lipid metabolic process
