Enables long-chain fatty acid binding activity and long-chain fatty acid transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in fatty acid metabolic process; intestinal absorption; and long-chain fatty acid transport. Located in apical cortex and microvillus. 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; 17beta-estradiol; 2,2',4,4'-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether.
