Gene: FABP7

Alternate names for this Gene: B-FABP|BLBP|FABPB|MRG

Gene Summary: The gene encodes a small, highly conserved cytoplasmic protein that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. The encoded protein is important in the establishment of the radial glial fiber in the developing brain. Alternative splicing and promoter usage results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on multiple chromosomes.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6q22.31

Description of this Gene: fatty acid binding protein 7

Type of Gene: protein-coding
