Summary
FABP6 (fatty acid binding protein 6, HGNC:3561) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q33.3, encoding Gastrotropin (P51161). Binds to bile acids and is involved in enterohepatic bile acid metabolism.
This gene encodes the ileal fatty acid binding protein. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABP6 and FABP1 (the liver fatty acid binding protein) are also able to bind bile acids. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Transcript variants generated by alternate transcription promoters and/or alternate splicing have been found for this gene.

Function. Binds to bile acids and is involved in enterohepatic bile acid metabolism. Required for efficient apical to basolateral transport of conjugated bile acids in ileal enterocytes. In vitro binds to bile acids in the order: deoxycholic acid > cholic acid > chenodeoxycholic acid and respective BA conjugation modifies affinities in the order taurine-conjugated > glycine-conjugated > unconjugated bile acids. Stimulates gastric acid and pepsinogen secretion. Essential for the survival of colon cancer cells to bile acid-induced apoptosis.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Membrane Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Isoform 1 is expressed in the jejunum, ileum, cecum and ascending colon intestine. Isoform 2 is xpressed in the gallbladder, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, ascending, transverse and descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum. Isoform 2 is expressed in colorectal adenocarcinomas and their adjacent normal mucosa (at protein level).
Domain organisation. Forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates the hydrophobic ligand in its interior. Can bind at least two ligands per molecule, however, the stoichiometry is debated.
Induction. Isoform 1 is up-regulated by chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) via the FXR transcription pathway. Isoform 2 is up-regulated by NF-kappa-B and in all stages of colorectal adenocarcinoma. Isoform 1 is not up-regulated in all stages of colorectal adenocarcinoma.
Similarity. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.

Is drug target: yes
ChEMBL targets (1): CHEMBL4523235 (SINGLE PROTEIN)
Molecules with ChEMBL bioactivity
1 molecules (phase ≥1), by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 35,360 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).

ChEMBL bioactivities
1 potent at pChembl≥5 of 13 total, top 1 by pChembl (potency: 10 = 0.1 nM, 6 = 1 µM).
| pChembl | Type | Value | Unit | Molecule |

PubChem BioAssay actives
1 with measured affinity, of 45 total; 1 most potent distinct compounds. Largely complementary to BindingDB; screening values are coarse (µM, 4 dp), so sub-nM hits tie at the floor.
| Compound | Assay | Type | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5,6-dimethyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-amine | 1632113: Binding affinity to recombinant human N-terminal His6 and Avi-tagged FABP6 expressed in Escherichia coli NEB cells by 2 site binding model based surface plasmon resonance method | kd | 2.8000 | uM |
