FABP6 Products

Description

Belonging to the Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family of cytoplasmic proteins, FABP6 binds long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. This protein encodes the ileal fatty acid binding protein and binds to bile salts and bilirubins. This protein is also known to stimulate gastric acid and pepsinogen secretion. The main functions of FABP6 include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. It's also involved in bile acid and bile salt transport, bile acid metabolic process, lipid metabolic process, negative regulation of cell proliferation, small molecule metabolic process and steroid metabolic process transport. Popular diseases for FABP6 include colorectal cancer, major depression and colorectal adenocarcinoma.
