Sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) and SCP-x are ubiquitous proteins found in all mammalian tissues. Although both proteins interact with fatty acids, their relative contributions to the uptake, oxidation, and esterification of straight-chain (palmitic) and branched-chain (phytanic) fatty acids in living cells has not been resolved. Therefore, the effects of each gene product on fatty acid metabolism was individually examined. Based on the following, SCP-2 and SCP-x did not enhance the uptake/translocation of fatty acids across the plasma membrane into the cell: i) a 2-fold increase in phytanic and palmitic acid uptake was observed at long incubation times in SCP-2- and SCP-x-expressing cells, but no differences were observed at initial time points; ii) uptake of 2-bromo-palmitate, a nonoxidizable, poorly metabolizable fatty acid analog, was unaffected by SCP-2 or SCP-x overexpression; and iii) SCP-2 and SCP-x expression did not increase targeting of radiolabeled phytanic and palmitic acid to the unesterified fatty acid pool. Moreover, SCP-2 and SCP-x expression enhanced fatty acid uptake by stimulating the intracellular metabolism via fatty acid oxidation and esterification.

In summary, these data showed for the first time that SCP-2 and SCP-x stimulate oxidation and esterification of branched-chain as well as straight-chain fatty acids in intact cells.
