Crystal Structure of human FABP5 in complex with 2-(indole-1-carbonylamino)benzoic acid, i.e. SMILES c12N(C(=O)Nc3c(cccc3)C(=O)O)C=Cc1cccc2 with IC50=18.1696 microM
Lipocalin / cytosolic fatty-acid binding protein family
Lipocalins are transporters for small hydrophobic molecules, such as lipids, steroid hormones, bilins, and retinoids. The family also encompasses the enzyme prostaglandin D synthase (EC:5.3.99.2). Alignment subsumes both the lipocalin and fatty acid ...
Lipocalins are transporters for small hydrophobic molecules, such as lipids, steroid hormones, bilins, and retinoids. The family also encompasses the enzyme prostaglandin D synthase (EC:5.3.99.2). Alignment subsumes both the lipocalin and fatty acid binding protein signatures from PROSITE. This is supported on structural and functional grounds. The structure is an eight-stranded beta barrel.
