Description

fatty acid binding protein 5

Gene Summary

Enables fatty acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including lipid transport across blood-brain barrier; positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and positive regulation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including glucose homeostasis; negative regulation of D-glucose transmembrane transport; and phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; extracellular space; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic cytosol; and postsynaptic density, intracellular component. Orthologous to human FABP5 (fatty acid binding protein 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
