Enables

This protein enables 4 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
long-chain fatty acid transmembrane transporter activitymolecular functionEnables the transfer of a long-chain fatty acid from one side of a membrane to the other. A long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 13 to 22 carbons. [ISBN:0198506732]
long-chain fatty acid bindingmolecular functionBinding to a long-chain fatty acid. A long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 13 to 22 carbons. [GOC:pm, PMID:12641450]
hormone receptor bindingmolecular functionBinding to a receptor for a hormone. [GOC:ai]
fatty acid bindingmolecular functionBinding to a fatty acid, an aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis. [ISBN:0198506732]

Located In

This protein is located in 5 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
nucleuscellular componentA membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent. [GOC:go_curators]
cytoplasmcellular componentThe contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. [ISBN:0198547684]
lipid dropletcellular componentAn intracellular non-membrane-bounded organelle comprising a matrix of coalesced lipids surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer. May include associated proteins. [GOC:mah, GOC:tb]
cytosolcellular componentThe part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. [GOC:hjd, GOC:jl]
extracellular exosomecellular componentA vesicle that is released into the extracellular region by fusion of the limiting endosomal membrane of a multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. Extracellular exosomes, also simply called exosomes, have a diameter of about 40-100 nm.

Involved In

This protein is involved in 11 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
response to bacteriumbiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a bacterium. [GOC:hb]
long-chain fatty acid transportbiological processThe directed movement of a long-chain fatty acid into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. A long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 13 to 22 carbons. [GOC:ai]
cholesterol homeostasisbiological processAny process involved in the maintenance of an internal steady state of cholesterol within an organism or cell. [GOC:go_curators]
negative regulation of DNA-templated transcriptionbiological processAny process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription. [GOC:go_curators, GOC:txnOH]
positive regulation of inflammatory responsebiological processAny process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the inflammatory response. [GOC:ai]
white fat cell differentiationbiological processThe process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a white adipocyte, an animal connective tissue cell involved in energy storage. White adipocytes have cytoplasmic lipids arranged in a unique vacuole. [PMID:12508945]
brown fat cell differentiationbiological processThe process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a brown adipocyte, an animal connective tissue cell involved in adaptive thermogenesis. Brown adipocytes contain multiple small droplets of triglycerides and a high number of mitochondria. [PMID:12588810]
cellular response to lithium ionbiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a lithium (Li+) ion stimulus. [GOC:mah]
cellular response to tumor necrosis factorbiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a tumor necrosis factor stimulus. [GOC:mah]
positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesisbiological processAny process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cold-induced thermogenesis. [PMID:27876809]
fatty acid transportbiological processThe directed movement of fatty acids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis. [GOC:ai]
