The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) belong to a multigene family with nearly twenty identified members.
FABPs are divided into at least three distinct types, namely the hepatic-, intestinal- and cardiac-type.
They form 14-15kD proteins and are thought to participate in the uptake, intracellular metabolism and/or transport of long-chain fatty acids.
They may also be responsible in the modulation of cell growth and proliferation.
Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene contains four exons and is an abundant cytosolic protein in small intestine epithelial cells.
This gene has a polymorphism at codon 54 that identified an alanine-encoding allele and a threonine-encoding allele.
Thr-54 protein is associated with increased fat oxidation and insulin resistance.
