Background
BLBP; also known as FABP7; is a brain fatty acid binding protein. Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of small; highly conserved; cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABP7 binds DHA with the highest affinity among all of the FABPs. FABPs may play roles in fatty acid uptake; transport; and metabolism. BLBP is expressed; during development; in radial glia by the activation of notch receptors. It was shown that reelin induces FABP7 expression in neural progenitor cells via notch-1 activation. BLBP variation is linked to weak prepulse inhibition(PPI) in mice and deficit in PPI is an endophenotypic trait observed in schizophrenia patients and their relatives.
