Abstract:Background
Fatty acid binding protein‐2 (FABP‐2) is involved in the metabolism of lipids in the intestine. FABP‐2 Ala54Thr polymorphism involves a transition of G to A at codon 54 of FABP‐2, resulting in an amino acid substitution Ala54 to Thr54 and is associated with elevated fasting triglycerides in some hyperlipidemic populations.
In current genome builds and gene databases the variant of the Ala54Thr FABP‐2 (rs 1 799 883) is annotated as c.163A>G (p. Thr55Ala).
