fatty acid binding protein 5 (psoriasis-associated)

This gene encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in epidermal cells, and was first identified as being upregulated in psoriasis tissue. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. The human genome contains many pseudogenes similar to this locus. [provided by RefSeq]

  • Livers of mice fed four different diets

    score: 100100 | Mus musculus Mus musculus | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    Beyond the DNA sequence difference between humans and closely related apes, there are large differences in the environments that these species experience. One prominent example for this is diet. The human diet diverges from those of other primates in various aspects, such as having a high calorie an…

  • Single or combinations of deletions of Irs1, Irs2, and Foxo1 in the liver of fasted or fed mice

    score: 100100 | Mus musculus Mus musculus | RNA Expression   RNA Expression

    The effect of liver specific deletion of the insulin receptor substrate-1 (Irs1) and/or Irs2 upon gene expression in the fasted and fed liver of mice, and the effect of liver specific Foxo1 deletion in the Irs1 and Irs2 knockout liver during fasting and feeding was investigated.
