Background
This gene encodes a member of the fatty acid transport protein family (FATP). FATPs are involved in the uptake of long-chain fatty acids and have unique expression patterns. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Involved in translocation of long-chain fatty acids (LFCA) across the plasma membrane. Thought to function as the predominant fatty acid protein transporter in heart.,similarity:Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.,subcellular location:In heart is exclusively located on the sarcolemma in areas juxtaposed with small blood vessels where it colocalizes CD36.,tissue specificity:Strongly expressed in heart and localizes to cardiac myocytes. Expressed at moderate levels in placenta, testis, and adrenal glands. Expressed at very low levels in kidney, bladder and uterus.,
