Fatty acid transport proteins (FTAPs) are a family of trans-membrane transport proteins, which allow and enhance the uptake of long chain fatty acids into cells.[1] This subfamily is part of the solute carrier protein family. Within humans this family contains six very homologous proteins, which are expressed in all tissues of the body which use fatty acids:[2]
