MeSH Heading
Fatty Acid-Binding Proteins
Tree Number(s)
D12.776.157.170
Unique ID
D050556
RDF Unique Identifier
http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D050556
Annotation
see SCR for organism-specific terms
Scope Note
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.
