Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are a kind of lipid chaperone protein that can regulate fatty acid transport, signal transduction, and nuclear transcription (Gan et al., 2015), which is closely related to obesity, type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, tumor, fatty liver, and other diseases (Senolt et al., 2010; Kawaguchi et al., 2016; Thompson et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene GOT2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
