NCIt synonyms : Fatty Acid Binding Protein 3, Muscle And Heart (Mammary-Derived Growth Inhibitor); Fatty Acid-Binding Protein, Muscle And Heart; Mammary-Derived Growth Inhibitor; Muscle Fatty Acid-Binding Protein; Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 3; FABP3; Fatty Acid Binding Protein 11; Heart Fatty Acid-Binding Protein; Fatty Acid-Binding Protein, Skeletal Muscle; M-FABP; MDGI; Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 3, Muscle; H-FABP; Fatty Acid-Binding Protein-3; Fatty Acid Binding Protein, Heart; Heart-Type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein;
NCIt definition : Fatty acid-binding protein, heart (133 aa, 15 kDa) is encoded by the human FABP3
gene. This protein plays a role in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty
acids and their acyl-CoA esters.;
NCIt note : Encoded by human FABP3 Gene (FABP/P2/CRBP/CRABP Transporter Family), Fatty Acid-Binding
Protein 3 is a 132-amino acid 14.7 kD protein. Demonstrated in liver, heart, intestine,
skeletal muscle, and brain, cytoplasmic FABPs are involved in uptake, intracellular
metabolism, and/or transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA esters.
Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 3 is likely involved in intracellular fatty acid transport,
arrests the growth of mammary epithelial cells, and is involved in mammary gland differentiation.
