Relevance 

Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long chain fatty acids, their coenzymes and other hydrophobic ligands and small molecules in the cytoplasm. It is thought that the role of these proteins includes fatty acid uptake, intracellular lipid transport and metabolism. FABP4 encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes. It is a lipid transport protein and binds both long chain fatty acids and retinoic acid. It delivers long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid to their cognate receptors in the nucleus.
