Caenorhabditis elegans Enables fatty acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid transport. Located in nucleus and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Expressed in hypodermis and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1G; glioblastoma; and pre-eclampsia. Is an ortholog of several human genes including FABP4 (fatty acid binding protein 4); FABP7 (fatty acid binding protein 7); and PMP2 (peripheral myelin protein 2).
