Long-chain fatty acid transport protein 4 is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theSLC27A4gene.[5][6] This membrane protein is also called FATP4 or ACSVL5 (very long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase 5). The purified protein shows enzyme activity (EC 6.2.1.3), esterifying long and very long chain fatty acids with Coenzyme A.[7] It is debated whether it is also a fatty acid transporter at the plasma membrane.[8]
