Caenorhabditis elegans Enables long-chain fatty acid transporter activity and oleic acid binding activity. Involved in long-chain fatty acid transport. Located in lysosome and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1G; glioblastoma; and pre-eclampsia. Is an ortholog of several human genes including FABP7 (fatty acid binding protein 7); FABP9 (fatty acid binding protein 9); and PMP2 (peripheral myelin protein 2).
