|
| Background Information | BLBP (Brain lipid-binding protein) belongs to a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. BLBPs play essential roles in fatty acid uptake, transport and metabolism. BLBP can be used as a molecular marker for radial glia (a major neural progenitor cell type and a scaffolding supporting neuronal migration) in the developing central nervous system. Radial glia play an essential role in the generation of the cerebral cortex through their function as neuronal precursors and as neuronal migration guides. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | The protein encoded by this gene is a brain fatty acid binding protein. Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABPs are thought to play roles in fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. [provided by RefSeq]. |

| UniProt Number |
|
| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: B-FABP could be involved in the transport of a so far unknown hydrophobic ligand with potential morphogenic activity during CNS development. It is required for the establishment of the radial glial fiber system in developing brain, a system that is necessary for the migration of immature neurons to establish cortical layers By similarity. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain and other neural tissues. DOMAIN: Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates the hydrophobic ligand in its interior. SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. |
