title: Expression and function of fatty acid-binding protein 4 during mouse decidualization.
abstract: Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (Fabp4) is highly expressed in the secondary decidual zone of mouse decidua and deciduoma and stromal cells under in vitro decidualization. Dtprp, a well-known marker of in vitro decidualization, is diminished by small interfering RNA against Fabp4 and FABP4 inhibitor and stimulated through Fabp4 overexpression.
