Background
This gene encodes the ileal fatty acid binding protein. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABP6 and FABP1 (the liver fatty acid binding protein) are also able to bind bile acids. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Transcript variants generated by alternate transcription promoters and/or alternate splicing have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
domain:Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates the hydrophobic ligand in its interior.,function:Ileal protein which stimulates gastric acid and pepsinogen secretion. Seems to be able to bind to bile salts and bilirubins.,similarity:Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.,

Cellular localization
[Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm . Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side .; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm . Localized close to nucleus on the apical side of both normal and neoplastic cells. .
Tissue expression
Isoform 1 is expressed in the jejunum, ileum, cecum and ascending colon intestine. Isoform 2 is xpressed in the gallbladder, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, ascending, transverse and descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum. Isoform 2 is expressed in colorectal adenocarcinomas and their adjacent normal mucosa (at protein level).
