Long-chain fatty acid transport protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC27A4 gene.[1][2] This membrane protein is also called FATP4 or ACSVL5 (very long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase 5). The purified protein shows enzyme activity (EC 6.2.1.3), esterifying long and very long chain fatty acids with Coenzyme A.[3] It is debated whether it is also a fatty acid transporter at the plasma membrane.[4]
