Relevance to Autism
Some rare and some common variants in the FABP5 gene were found in autistic patients. However, none were found to have significant genetic association with autism (Maekawa et al., 2010).
Molecular Function
The encoded protein binds long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands
