Abstract
Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) serve as intracellular chaperones for fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands inside cells. Recent studies have demonstrated new functions of individual members of the FABP family. This Snapshot describes the overall functions of FABPs in health and disease and highlights emerging roles of adipose FABP (A-FABP) and epidermal FABP (E-FABP) in the fields of obesity, chronic inflammation, and cancer development.
