Resumen:
Intestinal FABP (IFABP) and liver FABP
(LFABP) are homologous proteins expressed at high
levels in intestinal absorptive cells, and bind
preferentially fatty acids. Their specific functions
have remained elusive. Both appear to be involved in
the trafficking of their ligands within the cytosol,
while LFABP has been shown to function, as well, in
the regulation of nuclear transcription factor activity
via ligand-dependent translocation to the nucleus.
