A photocytes-associated fatty acid-binding protein from the light organ of adult Taiwanese firefly, Luciola cerata.
BACKGROUND: Intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are considered to be an important energy source supplier in lipid metabolism; however, they have never been reported in any bioluminescent tissue before. In this study, we determined the structural and functional characteristics of a nove...
