The present immunohistochemical study examined the expression and localization of CD36, MCT1, FATP4, and E-FABP in the sebaceous glands, including the meibomian and preputial glands of mice.  CD36 and MCT1 in sebaceous glands were largely co-localized along the plasma membrane of secretory cells, while they were separately expressed in the glandular portion of meibomian and preputial glands.  Genetic deletion of CD36 did not affect the immunolocalization of the three other molecules. 
CD36
Immunohistochemical localization of fatty acid transporters and MCT1 in the sebaceous glands of mouse skin.The sebaceous glands secrete sebum to protect the epidermis and hairs by the oily products.  The present immunohistochemical study examined the expression and localization of CD36, MCT1, FATP4, and E-FABP in the sebaceous glands, including the meibomian and preputial glands of mice.  CD36 and MCT1 in sebaceous glands were largely co-localized along the plasma membrane of secretory cells, while they were separately expressed in the glandular portion of meibomian and preputial glands. 
MCT1
The present immunohistochemical study examined the expression and localization of CD36, MCT1, FATP4, and E-FABP in the sebaceous glands, including the meibomian and preputial glands of mice.  Immunoreactivities for FATP4 and E-FABP appeared diffusely in the cytoplasm of secretory cells. 
FATP4
The present immunohistochemical study examined the expression and localization of CD36, MCT1, FATP4, and E-FABP in the sebaceous glands, including the meibomian and preputial glands of mice.  Immunoreactivities for FATP4 and E-FABP appeared diffusely in the cytoplasm of secretory cells. 
E-FABP
