About Fabp4

Summary

Predicted to enable hormone receptor binding activity; long-chain fatty acid binding activity; and long-chain fatty acid transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and response to glucocorticoid. Located in cytosol. Biomarker of impotence. Orthologous to human FABP4 (fatty acid binding protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
