Background
This gene encodes a member of a family of fatty acid transport proteins, which are involved in translocation of long-chain fatty acids cross the plasma membrane. This protein is expressed at high levels on the apical side of mature enterocytes in the small intestine, and appears to be the principal fatty acid transporter in enterocytes. Clinical studies suggest this gene as a candidate gene for the insulin resistance syndrome. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ichthyosis prematurity syndrome.

Function
function:Involved in translocation of long-chain fatty acids (LFCA) across the plasma membrane. Appears to be the principal fatty acid transporter in small intestinal enterocytes. Plays a role in the formation of the epidermal barrier. Required for fat absorption in early embryogenesis. Has acyl-CoA ligase activity for long-chain and very-long-chain fatty acids.,miscellaneous:SLC27A4/FATP4-mediated fatty acid uptake is associated to paramaters related to insulin resistance, which is associated with disturbed fatty acid metabolism and homeostasis, such as obesity. SLC27A4/FATP4 expression is positively correlated with aquired obesity.,similarity:Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.,tissue specificity:Expressed at highest levels in brain, testis, colon and kidney. Expressed at medium levels in heart and liver, small intestine and stomach. Expressed at low levels in perip
