Long-chain fatty acid transport protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC27A6 gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Gimeno RE, Ortegon AM, Patel S, Punreddy S, Ge P, Sun Y, Lodish HF, Stahl A | title = Characterization of a heart-specific fatty acid transport protein | journal = J Biol Chem | volume = 278 | issue = 18 | pages = 16039–44 |date=Apr 2003 | pmid = 12556534 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.M211412200 | doi-access = free }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Steinberg SJ, Wang SJ, McGuinness MC, Watkins PA | title = Human liver-specific very-long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetase: cDNA cloning and characterization of a second enzymatically active protein | journal = Mol Genet Metab | volume = 68 | issue = 1 | pages = 32–42 |date=Oct 1999 | pmid = 10479480 | doi = 10.1006/mgme.1999.2883 | doi-access = free }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: SLC27A6 solute carrier family 27 (fatty acid transporter), member 6| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=28965}}
This gene encodes a member of the fatty acid transport protein family (FATP). FATPs are involved in the uptake of long-chain fatty acids and have unique expression patterns. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
