Methods for identifying modulators of fatty acid transport and/or uptake, comprising contacting, under conditions favorable for fatty acid uptake, a putative modulator, e.g., an inhibitor with a system comprising genetic material encoding a fatty acid transport mediator (“TTM”), particularly FAA1, FAA2, FAA3, FAA4, FAT1, fadL, fadD, FATP, CD36 and FABP, or orthologs, homologs, isoforms, variants, analogs, derivatives or fragments thereof, and combinations thereof, or fatty acid transport mediator proteins (“TTMps”), e.g., Faa1p, Faa2p, Faa3p, Faa4p, Fat1p, FadL, fatty acyl CoA synthetase, FATP, CD36 and FABP, or orthologs, homologs, isoforms, variants, analogs, derivatives or fragments thereof, and combinations thereof, and determining the effect of the putative modulator. The test system may be a cell such as
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, E. coli, H. sapiens,
etc. or an in vitro system.
