UniProt ID: B2GQZ3 |
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00008390}. |
UniProt ID: Q9I8L5 |
FUNCTION: Binds hydrophobic ligands, such as cholate, in the cytoplasm. May be involved in intracellular lipid transport (By similarity). Binds one cholate per subunit. {ECO:0000250}. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the developing embryonic liver from 48 hpf. Also expressed in the liver of 5-day-old larvae. In adults, primarily expressed in the liver, with weak expression in the testis and intestine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11004494, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12633865, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12815620, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16857010}. DOMAIN: Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates hydrophobic ligands in its interior. MISCELLANEOUS: A member of the basic liver-type FABPs, which are only found, thus far, in non-mammalian vertebrates. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. {ECO:0000305}. CAUTION: PubMed:12633865 reports expression in the ventral endoderm at 36 hpf, whereas PubMed:16857010 does not detect expression this early. The different timings may reflect strain-specific differences. {ECO:0000305}. |
