    Summary
    Predicted to enable fatty acid binding activity. Involved in long-term memory. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in adult head; adult heart; and embryonic/larval lateral glial cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1G; hypertension; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including FABP3 (fatty acid binding protein 3) and FABP4 (fatty acid binding protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    2. This study showed that the unliganded archetypal Drosophila brain-type fatty acid-binding protein (dFABP) possesses a stronger binding affinity than its liganded counterpart for empty nanodiscs. The crystallographic temperature factor data suggest enhanced alphaII helix dynamics upon Long-chain fatty acids binding.
