Fabp1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including long-chain fatty acid transmembrane transporter activity; monocarboxylic acid binding activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including long-chain fatty acid transport; positive regulation of fatty acid beta-oxidation; and response to vitamin B3. Located in apical cortex and peroxisomal matrix. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of end stage renal disease. Orthologous to human FABP1 (fatty acid binding protein 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Fabp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
