Exhibits long-chain fatty acid binding activity and long-chain fatty acid transporter activity. Involved in fatty acid metabolic process; intestinal absorption; and long-chain fatty acid transport. Localizes to apical cortex; microvillus; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcoholic liver cirrhosis; carotid stenosis; coronary artery disease; end stage renal disease; and obesity. Orthologous to human FABP2 (fatty acid binding protein 2); PARTICIPATES IN eicosanoid signaling pathway via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma; INTERACTS WITH 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate; 2,2',4,4'-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine.
[pirinixic acid binds to and results in increased activity of PPARA protein] which results in increased expression of FABP2 mRNA, PPARA protein promotes the reaction [pirinixic acid results in increased expression of FABP2 mRNA]
