products description :
Human fatty acid binding protein EFABP is a 15kD member of the intracellular fatty acid binding protein (FABP) family, which is known for the ability to bind fatty acids and related compounds (bile acids or retinoids). in an internal cavity. The fatty acid binding proteins aP2 (fatty acid binding protein [FABP]-4) and mal1 (EFABP) are closely related and both are expressed in adipocytes. Absence of EFABP/mal1 resulted in increased systemic insulin sensitivity in two models of obesity and insulin resistance. Adipocytes isolated from mal1-deficient mice also exhibited enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose transport capacity. In contrast, mice expressing high levels of mal1 in adipose tissue display reduced systemic insulin sensitivity.

uniprot summary :
Function: High specificity for fatty acids. Highest affinity for the unsaturated fatty acid palmitate (C16:0). May be involved in the uptake and transport of fatty acids essential for the nourishment of the surrounding cell types. It is a potential target for oxidative stress during cataract formation in lens. Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Tissue specificity: Most abundant in lens and retina (found in the mueller cells), moderately abundant in heart and testis (found in the Sertoli cells), and present in very low amounts in lung. Domain: Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates hydrophobic ligands in its interior. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.
