    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm
    basic FUNCTION
  • inducing medium-chain acyl-CoA ester synthesis
  • intracellular lipid-binding protein that transports acylCoA esters
  • displacing diazepan from the benzodiazepine (BZD) recognition sites located on the GABA type A receptor (acting as a neuropeptide to modulate the action of the GABA receptor)
  • downregulating the effects of GABA
  • involved in lipid metabolism and regulated by hormones and feeding status via transcription factors such as sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma)
