Abstract excerpt
The fatty acid transport protein Fat1p functions as a component of the long-chain fatty acid transport apparatus in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Fat1p has significant homologies to the mammalian fatty acid transport proteins (FATP) and the very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases (VLACS). In order to further understand the functional roles intrinsic to Fat1p (fatty acid transport and VLACS activities), a...
