General annotation (Comments)

Function

Lipid transport protein in adipocytes. Binds both long chain fatty acids and retinoic acid. Delivers long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid to their cognate receptors in the nucleus By similarity.

Subunit structure

Homodimer. Interacts with PPARG By similarity. Monomer. Ref.8

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note: Depending on the nature of the ligand, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into the nucleus. Subject to constitutive nuclear export By similarity.

Domain

Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates hydrophobic ligands in its interior.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.
