FABP7 (Fatty acid binding protein 7) is also known as brain fatty acid-binding protein (B-FABP) and is a member of fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) which are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins to bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABP7 is expressed in radial glia by the activation of Notch receptors and binds DHA with the highest affinity among all of FABPs.
