Facts about Long-chain fatty acid transport protein 1.
May act directly as a bona fide transporter, or alternatively, in a cytoplasmic or membrane-associated multimeric protein complex to trap and draw fatty acids towards accumulation (PubMed:14991074, PubMed:15897321). Plays a pivotal role in regulating available LCFA substrates from exogenous sources in tissues experiencing high levels of beta-oxidation or triglyceride synthesis (PubMed:12235169).
