Abstract
In the past we surveyed many aspects of cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs)1-4. These molecules with relatively low molecular masses (14-15 kDa) are supposed to play a role in fatty acid transfer and targeting, and in fatty acid metabolism. A second function is their possible modulatory role on the effect of fatty acids on gene expression, receptors, metabolic enzymes and signal transduction. An indirect involvement of FABP in modulation of cell growth and differentiation was suggested for hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes and mammary epithelial cells.
