Background

FABP4, also known as aP2 (adipocyte Protein 2), encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes. The FABP4 gene is mapped to 8q21. FABP4 functions as a cytosolic lipid chaperone in macrophages and is involved in regulating macrophage endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Aditionally, FABP4 protein is expressed in HBEs and is strongly upregulated by both IL4 and IL13 and downregulated by IFN-gamma, suggesting a role in allergic airway inflammation.
