Bio Background |
This gene encodes a member of a family of fatty acidtransport proteins, which are involved in translocation oflong-chain fatty acids cross the plasma membrane. This protein isexpressed at high levels on the apical side of mature enterocytesin the small intestine, and appears to be the principal fatty acidtransporter in enterocytes. Clinical studies suggest this gene as acandidate gene for the insulin resistance syndrome. Mutations inthis gene have been associated with ichthyosis prematuritysyndrome. |
