FABP4
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. Homodimer. Interacts with PPARG. Monomer. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
