FABP3

1. [Encoded by human FABP3 Gene (FABP/P2/CRBP/CRABP Transporter Family), Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 3 is a 132-amino acid 14.7 kD protein. Demonstrated in liver, heart, intestine, skeletal muscle, and brain, cytoplasmic FABPs are involved in uptake, intracellular metabolism, and/or transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA esters. Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 3 is likely involved in intracellular fatty acid transport, arrests the growth of mammary epithelial cells, and is involved in mammary gland differentiation.
