Description
Human Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 1 (FABP1) is a cytoplasm protein, which belongs to the calycin superfamilyand Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved,cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids. FABP1 forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodateshydrophobic ligands in its interior. FABP1 can bind free fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives, bilirubin,and some other small molecules in the cytoplasm, so it can be involved in intracellular lipid transport.
