E-FABPEFABPKFABPPA-FABPPAFABP
Chromosome 8
Chromosome location 8q21.13
Summary This gene encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in epidermal cells, and was first identified as being upregulated in psoriasis tissue. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fa

Protein name Fatty acid-binding protein 5 (Epidermal-type fatty acid-binding protein) (E-FABP) (Fatty acid-binding protein, epidermal) (Psoriasis-associated fatty acid-binding protein homolog) (PA-FABP)
Protein function Intracellular carrier for long-chain fatty acids and related active lipids, such as endocannabinoids, that regulate the metabolism and actions of the ligands they bind. In addition to the cytosolic transport, selectively delivers specific fatty
