| Function | High specificity for fatty acids. Highest affinity for C18 chain length. Decreasing the chain length or introducing double bonds reduces the affinity. May be involved in keratinocyte differentiation. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. |
| Tissue Specificity | Keratinocytes; highly expressed in psoriatic skin. |
| Top Pathways | PPAR signaling pathway |
