<unk>  <unk>  is a small cytoplasmic protein (15 kDa) released from cardiac myocytes following an ischemic episode. Like the nine other distinct<unk> s that have been identified,<unk>  is involved in active<unk> <unk>  metabolism where it transports<unk> <unk> s from the cell membrane to mitochondria for oxidation. See<unk> 3 for biochemical details. The intracellular<unk> <unk><unk>  proteins<unk> s) belongs to a multigene family.<unk> s are divided into at least three distinct<unk> s, namely the hepatic-, intestinal- and cardiac-type. They form 14-15 kDa proteins and are thought to participate in the uptake, intracellular metabolism and/or transport of long-chain<unk> <unk> s. They may also be responsible in the modulation of cell growth and proliferation.<unk> <unk><unk>  protein 3 gene contains four exons and its function is to arrest growth of mammary epithelial cells. This gene is also a candidate tumor suppressor gene for human breast cancer.
