Enables chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; negative regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process; and positive regulation of fatty acid beta-oxidation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; liver; and testis. Orthologous to human FABP1 (fatty acid binding protein 1).
