The encoded protein is also involved in the modulation of cell growth and proliferation. This protein binds saturated long-chain fatty acids with high affinity, and may act as a lipid sensor to maintain energy homeostasis. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]. * **UniProt Summary**: 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. |Lipocalin| |long-chain fatty acid binding| |intestinal lipid absorption| |fatty acid binding| |triglyceride catabolic process| |intestinal absorption| |neutral lipid catabolic process| |acylglycerol catabolic process| |glycerolipid catabolic process| |digestive system process| |triglyceride metabolic process| |acylglycerol metabolic process| |neutral lipid metabolic process| |digestion| |cellular lipid catabolic process| |lipid transport| |lipid catabolic process| |lipid localization| |glycerolipid metabolic process| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp291|LLY-284 2.6μM R06 exp291]]|1.75| |[[:results:exp392|PT-1 25μM R07 exp392]]|1.86| |[[:results:exp81|Selumetinib 20μM R02 exp81]]|2.05| |[[:results:exp301|VER-155008 3.9μM R06 exp301]]|2.28| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
