Fatty acid-binding protein 2 in inflammatory bowel disease: mechanistic insights and translational perspectives
Fatty acid-binding protein 2 (FABP2) is an intestine-specific cytoplasmic lipid chaperone with a molecular weight of approximately 14–15 kDa that plays a pivotal role in the uptake, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism of long-chain fatty acids. Emerging evidence indicates that FABP2 is not only a sensitive biomar...
