Abstract excerpt
Fatty acids play important biological roles in cells. The precise mechanism whereby fatty acids cross the plasma membrane is still poorly understood. They can cross membranes because of their hydrophobic properties and/or be transported by specific proteins. Recently, a gene coding for fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1), an integral plasma membrane protein implicated in this process, was cloned in humans. We...
