| Function | Binds medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA esters with very high affinity and may function as an intracellular carrier of acyl-CoA esters (By similarity). May be involved in energy metabolism in a manner that depends on the substrate used for energy production. Dbi and its metabolites are involved in the regulation of multiple biological processes. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7935415}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in larval and pupal brains. In adults, expressed in cardia, part of the Malpighian tubules, fat body, and gametes of both sexes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7935415}. |
