It was recently found that Fabp8 binds phosphoinositides and revealed the intimate involvement of Fabp8 in the asymmetric modelling of sphingomyelin in the inner and outer leaflets of cell membranes of rat hepatoma cells expressing recombinant Fabp8, and thus likely also in the cell membranes of Schwann cells where Fabp8 is normal present.10 Here, PMP2 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
