Specificity
Natural and recombinant rat FABP4
Subcellular Localization
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Depending on the nature of the ligand, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into the nucleus. Subject to constitutive nuclear export (By similarity). .
Lipid transport protein in adipocytes. Binds both long chain fatty acids and retinoic acid. Delivers long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid to their cognate receptors in the nucleus (By similarity). .
Background
FABP4, also known as aP2 (adipocyte Protein 2), encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes. The FABP4 gene is mapped to 8q21. FABP4 functions as a cytosolic lipid chaperone in macrophages and is involved in regulating macrophage endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Aditionally, FABP4 protein is expressed in HBEs and is strongly upregulated by both IL4 and IL13 and downregulated by IFN-gamma, suggesting a role in allergic airway inflammation.
