adipocyte protein 2
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
aP2 (adipocyte Protein 2)[5] is a carrier protein for fatty acids that is primarily expressed in adipocytes and macrophages. aP2 is also called fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4). Blocking this protein either through genetic engineering or drugs[6] has the possibility of treating heart disease and the metabolic syndrome.[7]
