Target
-
Function
Lipid transport protein in adipocytes. Binds both long chain fatty acids and retinoic acid. Delivers long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid to their cognate receptors in the nucleus. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. -
Domain
Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates hydrophobic ligands in its interior. -
Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Depending on the nature of the ligand, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into the nucleus. Subject to constitutive nuclear export. - Information by UniProt
