| 1 | The immunoreactivity for epidermal-type fatty acid binding protein of epidermis type (E-FABP) was selectively localized in the epithelial cells of both cortex and medulla of mouse thymus. | Fatty Acids | fatty acid binding protein 5, epidermal | Mus musculus |
| 2 | Considering the possibility that FABPs function as intracellular carriers for unsaturated long chain fatty acids, the present finding suggests that E-FABP in the thymic epithelial cells, especially the cortical ones because of their extensive location, are intimately involved in the metabolic processes of fatty acids including production of bioactive substances, such as prostaglandin and leukotriene, which are known to exert some regulation of thymic immune responses. | Fatty Acids | fatty acid binding protein 5, epidermal | Mus musculus |
