Adipocyte lipid-binding protein ; ALBP ; Adipocyte-type fatty acid-binding protein ; A-FABP ; Fatty acid-binding protein 4
Categories
Elisa
Function
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.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Bovine Fatty acid-binding protein, adipocyte
Subcellular Location
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.
