| Function |
High specificity for fatty acids. Highest affinity for C18 chain length (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Most abundant in keratinocytes and also in stratified epithelia of epidermis and tongue. Relatively high levels found in adipose and mammary tissues and small amounts found in heart, brain, liver, spleen, muscle and lung.
