Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5-Like 1 (Pseudogene) (FABP5L1) protein (His tag)
Description
Human Fatty Epidermal Acid Binding Protein FABP also called FABP-5 is a 15 kDa 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 systematic insulin activity Synonyms: Fatty acid-binding protein epidermal, E-FABP, Fatty acid-binding protein 5, Psoriasis-associated fatty acid-binding protein homolog, PA-FABP, FABP5, EFABP, PAFABP
