basic FUNCTION
| may be playing roles in fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism |
|
involved in cell proliferation and invasion and may be associated with tumor progression in melanoma |
|
may have a role in pulmonary development and in the pathogenesis of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation |
|
may function as a tumor progression gene |
|
role in differentiation and/or proliferation of glial cells through regulation of lipid metabolism and/or signaling |
|
is likely involved in the proliferation of astrocytes by controlling cellular fatty acid homeostasis |
|
FABP7 and FABP5 are differentially expressed in oligodendrocyte lineage cells and regulate their proliferation and/or differentiation |
|
FABP7 controls lipid raft function through the regulation of CAV1 expression and is involved in the response of astrocytes to the external stimuli |
|
astrocytic FABP7 is important for dendritic arbor growth, neuronal excitatory synapse formation, and synaptic transmission |
|
might play an important role in maintaining retinal vasculature |
