Preferred Label : fatty acid-binding proteins;
MeSH definition : Intracellular proteins that reversibly bind hydrophobic ligands including: saturated
and unsaturated FATTY ACIDS; EICOSANOIDS; and RETINOIDS. They are considered a highly
conserved and ubiquitously expressed family of proteins that may play a role in the
metabolism of LIPIDS.;
