Anti-FABP5

Protein function: Intracellular carrier for long-chain fatty acids and related active lipids, such as the endocannabinoid, that regulates the metabolism and actions of the ligands they bind (PubMed:8608126, PubMed:12540600). In addition to the cytosolic transport, selectively delivers specific fatty acids from the cytosol to the nucleus, wherein they activate nuclear receptors. Delivers retinoic acid to the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta, which promotes proliferation and survival (PubMed:17512406). May also serve as a synaptic carrier of endocannabinoid at central synapses and thus controls retrograde endocannabinoid signaling (PubMed:29531087). Modulates inflammation by regulating PTGES induction via NF-kappa- B activation, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) biosynthesis during inflammation (PubMed:29440395). May be involved in keratinocyte differentiation. [The UniProt Consortium]
