Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
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).
