FABP5 Polyclonal Antibody
Product details
Background:
This gene encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in epidermal cells, and was first identified as being upregulated in psoriasis tissue. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABPs may play roles in fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with type 2 diabetes. The human genome contains many pseudogenes similar to this locus.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011],

| Cellular Localization | Cytoplasm . Nucleus . Cell junction, synapse . Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density . Secreted . Localizes primarily to the cytoplasm. Upon certain ligand binding, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into nucleus (PubMed:24692551). Secreted by astrocytes, but not by neurons (By similarity). . |
| Tissue Expression | Keratinocytes; highly expressed in psoriatic skin (PubMed:8092987). Expressed in brain gray matter (PubMed:21395585). |
| Signaling_pathway | Organismal Systems >> Endocrine system >> PPAR signaling pathway |
| Research Areas | >>PPAR signaling pathway |
| Function | Domain:Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates the hydrophobic ligand in its interior.,Function:High specificity for fatty acids. Highest affinity for C18 chain length. Decreasing the chain length or introducing double bonds reduces the affinity. May be involved in keratinocyte differentiation.,similarity:Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.,tissue specificity:Keratinocytes; highly expressed in psoriatic skin., |
