Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Liver, Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 1, Liver-Type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein, L-FABP, FABP1, FABPL
Human Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 1 (FABP1) is a cytoplasm protein, which belongs to the calycin superfamily and Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids. FABP1 forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates hydrophobic ligands in its interior. FABP1 can bind free fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives, bilirubin, and some other small molecules in the cytoplasm, so it can be involved in intracellular lipid transport.
