Fatty acids are a major source of energy for cardiac myocytes. Changes in fatty acid
metabolism have been implicated as causal in diabetes and cardiac disease. The
mechanism by which long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) enter cardiac myocytes is not well
understood but appears to occur predominantly by protein-mediated transport. Here we
report the cloning, expression pattern, and subcellular localization of a novel member of the
fatty acid transport protein (FATP) family termed FATP6. FATP6 is principally expressed in …
