Abstract.
The interest in fatty-acid-binding proteins has produced about 1000 research papers since their discovery nearly 30 years ago. This review provides an entry to the mammalian and nonmammalian literature through a compendium of categorized review articles (nearly 60). Publications that have not yet been reviewed, particularly of function and modes of action, are presented and discussed in light of earlier reports. This large protein family may be integral in the relationship between lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.
