| 1 | Brain-type fatty acid-binding protein (FABP7) is abundantly expressed in neural stem cells and astrocytes of developing brain, suggesting its role in differentiation and/or proliferation of glial cells through regulation of lipid metabolism and/or signaling. | Fatty Acids | fatty acid binding protein 7, brain | Mus musculus |
| 2 | Primary cultured astrocytes from FABP7-KO mice also showed a significant decrease in proliferation and omega-3 fatty acid incorporation compared with wild-type astrocytes. | Fatty Acids, Omega-3 | fatty acid binding protein 7, brain | Mus musculus |
| 3 | Overall, these data suggest that FABP7 is involved in the proliferation of astrocytes by controlling cellular fatty acid homeostasis. | Fatty Acids | fatty acid binding protein 7, brain | Mus musculus |
