lbp-7 encodes a predicted intracellular fatty acid binding protein (iFABP) that is most similar to the vertebrate muscle and heart FABPs; by homology, LBP-7 is predicted to function as an intracellular transporter for small hydrophobic molecules such as lipids and steroid hormones; as loss of lbp-7 activity via large-scale RNAi screens does not result in any obvious abnormalities, the precise role of LBP-7 in C. elegans development and/or behavior is not yet known.
