The expression pattern of a novel gene encoding brain-fatty acid binding protein correlates with neuronal and glial cell development
Abstract
Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are a multigene family of small intracellular proteins that bind hydrophobic ligands. In this report we describe the cloning and expression pattern of a novel member of this gene family that is specifically expressed in the developing and adult nervous system and thus was designated brain (B)-FABP. B-FABP is closely related to heart (H)-FABP with 67% amino acid identity. B-FABP expression was first detected at mouse embryonic day 10 in neuroepithelial cells and its pattern correlates with early neuronal differentiation. Upon further development, B-FABP was confined to radial glial cells and immature astrocytes. B-FABP mRNA and protein were found in glial cells of the peripheral nervous system such as satellite cells of spinal and cranial ganglia and ensheathing cells of the olfactory nerve layer from as early as embryonic day 11 until adulthood. In the adult mouse brain, B-FABP was found in the glia limitans, in radial glial cells of the hippocampal dentate gyrus and Bergman glial cells. These findings suggest a function of B-FABP during neurogenesis or neuronal migration in the developing nervous system. The partially overlapping expression pattern with that of cellular retinoid binding proteins suggests that B-FABP is involved in the metabo-lism of a so far unknown hydrophobic ligand with potential morphogenic activity during CNS development.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
