We demonstrate for the first time that FATP1 and ACSL1 coimmunoprecipitate in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, indicating that these proteins form an oligomeric complex. ... Moreover, inhibition of ACSL1 activity in adipocytes impairs fatty acid uptake, suggesting that esterification is essential for fatty acid transport.

Adipocytes from brown adipose tissues (abbr. BAT) are called brown adipocytes (brown fat cells, brown adipose cells, BAT cells). Adipocytes from brown fat tissue usually contain several small (multilocular) lipid droplets (hence the terms multilocular fat cells or multilocular adipocytes).
