Background
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 fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABPs may play roles in fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with type 2 diabetes. The human genome contains many pseudogenes similar to this locus.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011],
Function
domain:Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates the hydrophobic ligand in its interior.,function:High specificity for fatty acids. Highest affinity for C18 chain length. Decreasing the chain length or introducing double bonds reduces the affinity. May be involved in keratinocyte differentiation.,similarity:Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.,tissue specificity:Keratinocytes; highly expressed in psoriatic skin.,
Protein name
Fatty acid-binding protein, epidermal (Epidermal-type fatty acid-binding protein) (E-FABP) (Fatty acid-binding protein 5) (Psoriasis-associated fatty acid-binding protein homolog) (PA-FABP)
Fields
>>PPAR signaling pathway

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm . Nucleus . Cell junction, synapse . Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density . Secreted . Localizes primarily to the cytoplasm. Upon certain ligand binding, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into nucleus (PubMed:24692551). Secreted by astrocytes, but not by neurons (By similarity). .
Tissue expression
Keratinocytes; highly expressed in psoriatic skin (PubMed:8092987). Expressed in brain gray matter (PubMed:21395585).
