The kidney metabolizes actively lipophilic molecules. Several species of lipid-binding proteins (LBPs) have been well characterized, including fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs), acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP), sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2), cellular retinol binding protein (CRBP), and phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP).
