FATP’s role in disease based on gain and loss of function animal models and human studies. 1. Heart FATP1-TG causes lipotoxicity and affects diastolic function. 2. FATP1KO is protective against high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance by decreasing white adipose and muscle fat content. 3. Hepatic steatosis can be reversed by AAV-mediated FATP5 or FATP2 knock-down. 4. FATP4 loss alters fatty acid composition and disturbs the skin barrier function.
