Background: FABP5/E-FABP

FABP5, also known as epidermal fatty acid binding protein (E-FABP), is expressed in skin, lens, adipose tissue, endothelial cells, heart, brain and placenta. FABP-5 is associated with keratinocytes and adipocytes, and is suggested to promote fatty acid availability to enzymes, protect cell structures from fatty acid attack, and target fatty acids to nuclear transcription factors.  Human FABP-5 shares 80%, 81%, and 92% aa identity with mouse, rat and bovine FABP-5, respectively.
