Abstract
Fatty acid uptake is partly controlled by the FATP gene family, of which at least five members are known in mice. Using the mmFATP1 cDNA as hybridizat ion probe, a 1.6 kb partial cDNA clone was isolated from a human heart cDNA library. With 5' and 3' RACE procedures, the complete cDNA was isolated. S equence comparisons with its mouse homologues identified this clone as hsFA TP4. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
