Abstract
A number of cellular fatty acid-binding proteins are being implicated in the uptake and intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids by parenchymal cells. Having been a topic of research for more than 20 years, cytoplasmic fatty acid-binding proteins now are assigned various pivotal functions in intracellular fatty acid transport and metabolism. More recently several membrane-associated fatty acid-binding proteins have been identified and these proteins are thought to function in the transmembrane transport of fatty acids. In this review, a short summary is provided of the latest developments in this research area.Keywords
