In this study, we examined the role of fatty asid binding proteins (FABPs) in the regulation of cellular signaling transduction, mainly by using FABP gene ablated mice. The following results have been so far obtained: 1. brain-type FABP (FABP7) and epidermal-type FABP (FABP5) are differentially expressed in oligodendrocyte lineage cells and regulate their proliferation and/or differentiation(Sharifi et al., Cell and Tissue Res 2013). 2. heart-type FABP (FABP3) gene ablation in mice resulted in altered cognitive and emotional behaviors with the decrease of PUFA uptake into the brain. Basal GABA release was significantly increased in the contex of FABP3 gene ablated mice, while glutamate release was significantly decreased compared with wild-type mice.
