The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) comprise a family of 14–15 kDa proteins
which bind long-chain fatty acids. A role for FABPs in fatty acid transport has been …

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are key proteins in lipid transport, and the isoforms are
segregated according to their tissue origins. Several isoforms, such as adipose-FABP and …

Cytochrome P450BM-3, a bacterial fatty acid monooxygenase, resembles the eukaryotic
microsomal P450's and their flavoprotein reductase in primary structure and function. The …

The various and dynamic functions fulfilled by long-chain fatty acids in mammals require that
sufficient amounts of these compounds are transported between tissues and within tissue …

Lipid-binding,-transfer or-exchange proteins are present in intra-and extracellular fluids of all
organisms. They play a role in the transport or targeting of lipids in the cell or in the plasma …

NPC2 is a small lysosomal glycoprotein that binds cholesterol with submicromolar affinity.
Deficiency in NPC2 is the cause of Niemann-Pick type C2 disease, a fatal neurovisceral …

Affinities of long chain fatty acids (FA) for fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) have been
measured by monitoring the concentrations of the unbound or free fatty acids (FFA) in …

The human genome encodes five nonpolymorphic major histocompatibility complex class I–
like glycoproteins, CD1a to CD1e, that present lipid antigens for specific recognition by T …

Members of the phylogenetically related intracellular lipid binding protein (iLBP) are
characterized by a highly conserved tertiary structure, but reveal distinct binding preferences …

▪ Abstract Intracellular lipid-binding proteins are a family of low-molecular-weight single-
chain polypeptides that form 1: 1 complexes with fatty acids, retinoids, or other hydrophobic …
