Differential expression of fatty acid transport proteins in epidermis and skin appendages.
Epidermis and sebocyte-derived lipids are derived both from de novo synthesis and through uptake of fatty acids from the circulation. Plasma membrane proteins can significantly contribute to the latter process. In particular, fatty acid transport proteins (FATP/solute carrier family 27) are integral transmembrane proteins that enhance the uptake of long-chain fatty acids into cells. Using speci...
متن کاملFatty acid transport and fatty acid-binding proteins.
Les protkines de liaison ou de transfert des acides gras sont prCsentes dans les fluides intraet extra-cellulaires de la plupart des organismes. Elles jouent un r61e dans le transport ou le ciblage des acides gras, mais peuvent kgalement agir en interaction avec different processus par la modulation de la concentration de la liaison libre. Quelques protkines de liaison des acides gras sont asse...
متن کاملFatty Acid Transport Protein 1 can compensate for Fatty Acid Transport Protein 4 in the developing mouse epidermis
Fatty acid transport protein (FATP) 4 is one of a family of six FATPs that facilitate long- and very-long-chain fatty acid uptake. Mice lacking FATP4 are born with tight, thick skin and a defective barrier; they die neonatally because of dehydration and restricted movements. Mutations in SLC27A4, the gene encoding FATP4, cause ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS), characterized by premature bi...
متن کاملRole of fatty acid transporters in epidermis
Skin epidermis is an active site of lipid synthesis. The intercellular lipids of human stratum corneum (SC) are unique in composition and quite different from the lipids found in most biological membranes. The three major lipids in the SC are free fatty acids, cholesterol and ceramides. Fatty acids can be synthesized by keratinocytes de novo and, in addition, need to be taken up from the circul...
متن کاملThe Role of Integrins in the Development and Homeostasis of the Epidermis and Skin Appendages
Integrins play a critical role in the regulation of adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation of cells. Because of the variety of the functions they play in the cell, they are necessary for the formation and maintenance of tissue structure integrity. The trove of data accumulated by researchers suggests that integrins participate in the morphogenesis of the epidermis and its appen...
