Recombinant liver fatty acid binding protein interacts with fatty acyl-coenzyme A
1994
Rat liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) and rat intestine fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) are homologous proteins which are both found in intestinal epithelial cells. It was once well accepted that liver fatty acid binding protein bound fatty acyl-CoAs, but the recent finding of a novel acyl-CoA bindin protein (ACBP) in preparations of L-FABP has challenged the role of FABPs in acyl-CoA metabolism. Prior to the discovery of ACBP, L-FABP preparations from liver were shown to modulate the rate of fatty acyl-CoA synthesis (Burrier et al., 1987) and their conversion to phospholipids (Bordewick et al., 1989)
