Abstract excerpt
Fatty acid-binding protein type 1 (FABP1), commonly termed liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), is encoded by a single gene in mammals. We cloned and sequenced cDNAs for two distinct FABP1s in zebrafish coded by genes designated fabp1a and fabp1b. The zebrafish proteins, FABP1a and FABP1b, show highest sequence identity and similarity to the human protein FABP1. Zebrafish fabp1a and fabp1b genes were...
