The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) comprise a family of 14–15 kDa
proteins which bind long-chain fatty acids. A role for FABPs in fatty acid transport has been …

Fatty acid–binding proteins (FABPs) are abundant intracellular proteins that bind long-chain
fatty acids with high affinity. Nine separate mammalian FABPs have been identified, and …

The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are abundantly expressed in almost all
tissues. They exhibit high affinity binding of a single long-chain fatty acid, with the exception …

The mammalian FA-binding proteins (FABPs) bind long-chain FA with high affinity. The
large number of FABP types is suggestive of distinct functions in specific tissues. Multiple …

Intestinal absorptive cells contain high levels of expression of two homologous fatty acid-binding
proteins (FABP), liver FABP (L-FABP), and intestinal FABP (I-FABP). Both bind long …

Cells acquire cholesterol either by de novo synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum or by
internalization of cholesterol-containing lipoproteins, particularly low density lipoprotein (LDL), …

Cholesterol is an important precursor for numerous biologically active molecules, and it
plays a major role in membrane structure and function. Cholesterol can be endogenously …

In the human stomach, gastric lipase hydrolyzes only 10 to 30% of ingested triacylglycerols
because of an inhibition process induced by the long chain free fatty acids generated, which …

Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) are highly abundant cytosolic proteins that are expressed
in most mammalian tissues. In the intestinal enterocyte, both liver- (LFABP; FABP1) and …

Cholesterol is a critical component of cellular membranes, regulating assembly and function
of membrane-based protein/lipid complexes. Many RNA viruses, including enteroviruses, …
