{"symbol":"FABP4","synonyms":["aP2","AFABP","HEL-S-104","ALBP","A-FABP"],"name":"fatty acid binding protein 4, adipocyte","description":"FABP4 encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes.  Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism.
