Disease relevance of Fabp3

  • We report here, for the first time, that H-FABP is a potent inducer of cardiac myocyte hypertrophy, stimulating an increase in cell surface area, protein synthesis and c-jun expression [1].
  • In order to explore the function of aortic H-FABP, we examined whether a quantitative change in aortic H-FABP occurred in diabetes mellitus, since this pathological state has been shown to cause abnormalities in fatty acid metabolism [2].
  • It was observed that as early as 15 min after ischemia, the depletion of H-FABP could be detected in model rats [3].
  • In all human cases with myocardial infarction, absent H-FABP staining could be found in infarcted area [3].
  • One-step purification of rat heart-type fatty acid-binding protein expressed in Escherichia coli [4].
 

High impact information on Fabp3

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Fabp3

  • Mepacrine, a membrane stabilizer and a phospholipase inhibitor, reduced the release of H-FABP from the heart and prevented the accumulation of nonesterified fatty acids in the tissue during ischemia and reperfusion [9].

Associations of Fabp3 with chemical compounds

  • Transfer of 2AP from HFABP mutants involving K22, located on alpha-helix I (alpha-I) of the helical cap region, was 3-fold slower than transfer from wild-type protein, whereas rates from a mutant involving the K59 residue, located on the beta 2-turn of the barrel near the helical cap, were 2-fold faster than those of wild type [10].
  • In the present study, the expression of H-FABP was measured in red and white skeletal muscle under two conditions in which fatty acid utilization is known to be increased: streptozotocin-induced diabetes and fasting [12].
  • The ratio of [14C]palmitic acid incorporation into phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine of A-FABP-cDNA-transfected clones changed in the opposite direction in differentiation medium from that of mock- and H-FABP-cDNA-transfected clones [11].
  • To directly examine the role of charged lysine residues on the HFABP surface in specific interactions with membranes, chemical modification and selective mutagenesis of HFABP were used [10].
  • Therefore, the stimulatory effect of cold exposure on the transcript of H-FABP in BAT was concluded to be mediated by NE, like that of the uncoupling protein (UCP) [14].
 

Other interactions of Fabp3

  • H-FABP immunoreactivity was first detected at embryonic day 20 (E20), with predominant localization in the parietal cells, whereas I-FABP immunoreactivity was detected at the day of birth in the surface mucous cells [15].
  • Interestingly, we found that both HFABP and UCP2 mRNA levels were significantly reduced in cafeteria-obese rats when compared to control animals [16].
  • Highly sensitive immunochemical assays (sandwich ELISAs) using specific antibodies raised against rat H- or L-FABP showed the contents of these FABP-types in endothelial cells to be 1-5 ng/mg cytosolic protein, which is more than three orders of magnitude lower than the contents of H-FABP in heart or L-FABP in liver [13].
  • In the presence of DEHP, MEHP, and EHA, the expression of PPARalpha, PPARgamma, FATP1, and HFABP were up-regulated in a dose- and time- dependent manner, while PPARbeta and FABPpm demonstrated variable expression [17].
