products description :
ACBP, also known as ACBD1, is a diazepam binding inhibitor, a protein that is regulated by hormones and is involved in lipid metabolism and the displacement of beta-carbolines and benzodiazepines, which modulate signal transduction at type A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors located in brain synapses. Expression of ACBP is significantly induced during adipocyte differentiation. ACBP is a target for proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma, and is directly activated by PPARgamma/RXRalpha and PPARalpha/RXRalpha, but not by PPARdelta/RXRalpha. Recombinant human ACBP protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes diazepam binding inhibitor, a protein that is regulated by hormones and is involved in lipid metabolism and the displacement of beta-carbolines and benzodiazepines, which modulate signal transduction at type A gamma-aminobutyric acid receptors located in brain synapses. The protein is conserved from yeast to mammals, with the most highly conserved domain consisting of seven contiguous residues that constitute the hydrophobic binding site for medium- and long-chain acyl-Coenzyme A esters. Diazepam binding inhibitor is also known to mediate the feedback regulation of pancreatic secretion and the postprandial release of cholecystokinin, in addition to its role as a mediator in corticotropin-dependent adrenal steroidogenesis. Three pseudogenes located on chromosomes 6, 8 and 16 have been identified. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
DBI: Binds medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA esters with very high affinity and may function as an intracellular carrier of acyl-CoA esters. It is also able to displace diazepam from the benzodiazepine (BZD) recognition site located on the GABA type A receptor. It is therefore possible that this protein also acts as a neuropeptide to modulate the action of the GABA receptor. Belongs to the ACBP family. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative promoter. Protein type: Lipid-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q12-q21. Cellular Component: Golgi apparatus; mitochondrion; endoplasmic reticulum. Molecular Function: protein dimerization activity; benzodiazepine receptor binding; lipid binding. Biological Process: protein palmitoylation; triacylglycerol metabolic process; learning and/or memory; behavioral fear response; hair follicle development; transport; lateral ventricle development
