Binds both long chain fatty acids and retinoic acid. Delivers long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid to their cognate receptors in the nucleus (By similarity). Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed Human adipocyte lipid-binding protein (aP2) belongs to a family of intracellular lipid-binding proteins involved in the transport and storage of lipids. Here, the crystal structure of human aP2 with a bound palmitate is described at 1.5 A resolution. Unlike the known crystal structure of murine aP2 in complex with palmitate, this structure shows that the fatty acid is in a folded conformation and that the loop containing Phe57 acts as a lid to regulate ligand binding by excluding solvent exposure to the central binding cavity. Expression, purification, crystallization and structure of human adipocyte lipid-binding protein (aP2).,Marr E, Tardie M, Carty M, Brown Phillips T, Wang IK, Soeller W, Qiu X, Karam G Acta Crystallogr Sect F Struct Biol Cryst Commun. 2006 Nov 1;62(Pt, 11):1058-60.
