FABP2

Gene
FABP2
Protein
Fatty acid-binding protein homolog 2
Organism
Echinococcus granulosus
Length
133 amino acids
Function
May play a role in the acquisition, storage, and transport of lipids, and may be important to the organism since it is incapable of synthesizing most of its lipids de novo.
Similarity
Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.

Gene
FABP2
Protein
Fatty acid-binding protein, intestinal
Organism
Bos taurus
Length
132 amino acids
Function
FABP are thought to play a role in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA esters. FABP2 is probably involved in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein synthesis. Binds saturated long-chain fatty acids with a high affinity, but binds with a lower affinity to unsaturated long-chain fatty acids. FABP2 may also help maintain energy homeostasis by functioning as a lipid sensor (By similarity).
