|
| 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
