FABP1 encodes the fatty acid-binding protein found in liver.

Fatty acid-binding protein 3 gene contains four exons and its function is to arrest growth of mammary epithelial cells.

The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) belongs to a multigene family.

Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene contains four exons and is an abundant cytosolic protein in small intestine epithelial cells.

Fatty acid-binding protein, epidermal is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FABP5 gene.

Other markers of muscle damage, such as aldolase, troponin, carbonic anhydrase type 3 and fatty acid-binding protein (FABP), are mainly used in chronic muscle diseases.

FABP7, coding the Fatty acid-binding protein 7 (brain), one SNP of which was associated with schizophrenia in one study, is also linked to prepulse inhibition in mice.

Heart-type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein (H-FABP) is a small cytoplasmic protein (15 kDa) released from cardiac myocytes following an ischemic episode.

The oxygens on PFOA are responsible for how it binds proteins with fatty acid or hormone substrates such as serum albumin, liver fatty acid-binding protein, and the nuclear receptors PPARα and possibly CAR.

After the analysis of 128 sib-pairs using quantitative trait sib-pair analysis, they observed a significant linkage between maximal insulin action and the intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 (FABP2) gene and the annexin V (ANX5) gene on chromosome 4q [ 5].

MiR-143 has also been experimentally shown to regulate genes that are crucial for adipocyte differentiation, (including GLUT4, Hormone-sensitive lipase, the fatty acid-binding protein, aP2 and PPAR-γ2), demonstrating that miRNAs are also involved in fat metabolism and endocrine function in humans.
