| Short Name | FATP5 |
| description | Fatty acid transport protein 5 (FATP5; also known as bile acyl-CoA synthetase) belongs to the FATP family, whose members facilitate long- and very long-chain fatty acid uptake [, ]. FATP5 is a bifunctional protein required for both hepatic fatty acid uptake and bile acid reconjugation []. It has bile acid-CoA ligase activity. Fatp5 knockout mice exhibit lower levels of hepatic triglycerides and free fatty acids due to decreased liver fatty acid uptake []. |
