?
fatty acid-binding protein 12 FABP12 is expressed in rodent retina and testis, as well as in human retinoblastoma cell lines. This subgroup belongs to the intracellular fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family, members of which are small proteins that bind hydrophobic ligands in a non-covalent, reversible manner, and have been implicated in intracellular uptake, transport and storage of hydrophobic ligands, regulation of lipid metabolism and sequestration of excess toxic fatty acids, as well as in signaling, gene expression, inflammation, cell growth and proliferation, and cancer development. |
