SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
text	localized in inner and outer pillar cells and outer phalangeal cells

basic FUNCTION	fatty acid binding protein, tumor suppressor for breast cancer
	participating in the uptake, intracellular metabolism and/or transport of long-chain fatty acids
	support potentially fat accumulation in the hypoxic placenta
	play important roles in the regulation of the hearing function
	heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, essential for cold tolerance and efficient fatty acid oxidation, in brown adipose tissue

REGULATION

ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

corresponding disease(s)

Other morbid association(s)

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function constitutional     --other   aberrant expression may alter membrane fluidity and signal transduction, and consequently could be involved in cellular dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders

Susceptibility

to essential hypertension (EH)

Variant & Polymorphism SNP	G allele of rs2279885 and the C allele of rs2271072 were significantly higher in subjects with EH than in normotensive (NT) subjects

Candidate gene
Marker	useful diagnostic marker for organ dysfunction, and its association with leptin will be a novel target for emergency aid
Therapy target
	System Type Disorder Pubmed obesity     potential target for modulation of energy dissipation

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Fabp3(-/-) mice exhibit extreme cold sensitivity despite induction of uncoupling and oxidative genes and hydrolysis of brown adipose tissue lipid store
