Fatty Acid Binding Protein: Localization and Functional Significance in the Brain
Open accessAbstract
Long chain fatty acids are important nutrients for brain development and function. However, the molecular basis of their actions in the brain is still to be clarified. Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) belong to the multigene family of the intracellular lipid-binding protein. FABPs bind to long chain fatty acids, being involved in the promotion of cellular uptake and transport of fatty acids, the targeting of fatty acids to specific metabolic pathways, and the regulation of gene expression. FABPs are widely expressed in mammalian tissues, with distinct expression patterns for the individual protein. Although FABPs have been implicated to serve as regulators in systemic cellular metabolic pathways, recent studies have demonstrated the ability of FABPs to regulate functions of the brain, one of the most fat-enriched tissues in the body. This review summarizes the localization of FABPs in the brain, and recent progress in elucidating the function of FABPs in the brain.

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.
