Summary: Enables hormone receptor binding activity; long-chain fatty acid binding activity; and long-chain fatty acid transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in long-chain fatty acid transport and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; cellular response to lithium ion; and negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; central nervous system; gut; heart; and integumental system. Orthologous to human FABP4 (fatty acid binding protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
