Protein attributes

Sequence length	132 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	B-FABP could be involved in the transport of a so far unknown hydrophobic ligand with potential morphogenic activity during CNS development. It is required for the establishment of the radial glial fiber system in developing brain, a system that is necessary for the migration of immature neurons to establish cortical layers By similarity.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in brain and other neural tissues.
Domain	Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates the hydrophobic ligand in its interior.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.
