FABP5

FABP5 (fatty acid binding protein 5) functions as a lipid chaperone that facilitates the transport and utilization of fatty acids within cells; it binds to omega-6 linoleic acid, enabling the activation of the mTORC1 pathway; its elevated presence in certain cancers suggests a potential role in promoting tumor growth; targeting FABP5 may offer new avenues for cancer treatment by disrupting this interaction.
