Advances in research regarding the function of the ACBP family in plants

Acyl-CoA-binding proteins (ACBPs) are lipid-carrier proteins involved in binding and transporting lipids. ACBPs play an important role in plant growth and development, as well as the responses to stress from chill, drought, and heavy metals. In this paper, the classification, structural characteristics, and physiological functions of the plant ACBP family were reviewed, to provide valuable information for a deeoer understanding of the functions of plant ACBPs.
