CD36 and fatty liver disease: A variety of proteins associated with hepatic steatosis have been implicated in the liver uptake of circulating NEFA, including platelet glycoprotein 4 (CD36, also known as fatty acid translocase), caveolin, and fatty acid transport protein (SLC27A, also known as FATP) complexes that possess very-long-chain acyl-CoA synthase activity (Alves-Bezerra and Cohen, 2018).
