Human Fatty Acid Binding Protein-3 (FABP-3) exhibits high affinity for small lipophilic ligands. Studies suggest that FABPs are involved in the uptake and metabolism of fatty acids, maintenance of Cellular membrane fatty acids levels, intraCellular trafficking, modulation of specific enzymes of lipid metabolic pathways, as well as in the modulation of cell growth and differentiation.
