Abstract

Fatty acid-binding proteins(FABP) belong to a family of low-molecular-weight cytoplasmic protein,and adipocyte fatty acid binding protein(A-FABP/ aP2) is one of the members of the family.A-FABP binds saturated or unsaturated long-chain fatty acids reversiblely,facilitate trafficking and maintain metabolism equilibrium,regulate the production of lipid and lipolysis.Research in recent years shows that biological reaction of A-FABP plays an important role in lipid metabolism and various diseases.The relationship is especially close between A-FABP and metabolic syndrome,atherosclerosis.
