Oleate uptake by cardiac myocytes is carrier mediated and involves a 40-kD plasma membrane fatty acid binding protein similar to that in liver, adipose tissue, and gut.
Uptake of [3H]oleate by canine or rat cardiac myocytes is saturable, displays the countertransport phenomenon, and is inhibited by phloretin and trypsin. Cardiac myocytes contain a basic (pI approximately 9.1) 40-kD plasma membrane fatty acid binding protein (FABPPM) analogous to those recently isolated from liver, adipose tissue, and gut, unrelated to the 12-14-kD cytosolic FABP in these same tissues. An antibody to rat liver FABPPM selectively inhibits specific uptake of [3H]oleate by rat heart myocytes at 37 degrees C, but has no influence on nonspecific [3H]oleate uptake at 4 degrees C or on specific uptake of [3H]glucose. Uptake of long-chain free fatty acids by cardiac muscle cells, liver, and adipose tissue and absorption by gut epithelial cells is a facilitated process mediated by identical or closely related plasma membrane FABPs.
