| UniProt functional annotation for P15090 | |||
| UniProt code: P15090. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Lipid transport protein in adipocytes. Binds both long chain fatty acids and retinoic acid. Delivers long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid to their cognate receptors in the nucleus. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04117}. | |
| Subunit: | Monomer (PubMed:15357969, PubMed:17077479). Homodimer. Interacts with PPARG (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04117, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15357969, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17077479}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04117}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04117}. Note=Depending on the nature of the ligand, a conformation change exposes a nuclear localization motif and the protein is transported into the nucleus. Subject to constitutive nuclear export. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04117}. | |
| Domain: | Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates hydrophobic ligands in its interior. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
