Tracing the evolution of fatty acid‐binding proteins (FABPs) in organisms with a heterogeneous fat distribution

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of fat among both invertebrate and vertebrate groups is heterogeneous. Studies have shown that fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs), which mainly bind and transport fatty acids, play important roles in the regulation of fat storage and distribution. However, the systematic and genome-wide investigation of FABP genes in organisms with a heterogeneous fat distribution remains in its infancy. The...
