title: Adipocyte protein 2
text: aP2 (adipocyte Protein 2) is a carrier protein for fatty acids that is primarily expressed in adipocytes and macrophages.  aP2 is also called fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4).  Blocking this protein either through genetic engineering or drugs has the possibility of treating heart disease and the metabolic syndrome.
