GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

SLC27A4

Description

solute carrier family 27 (fatty acid transporter), member 4

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potential transmembrane proteins, Potentially secreted proteins, Transporters

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of fatty acid transport proteins, which are involved in translocation of long-chain fatty acids cross the plasma membrane. This protein is expressed at high levels on the apical side of mature enterocytes in the small intestine, and appears to be the principal fatty acid transporter in enterocytes. Clinical studies suggest this gene as a candidate gene for the insulin resistance syndrome. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ichthyosis prematurity syndrome.
