Specifications
| 50ul/100ul |
Background:
Fatty acid-binding proteins, designated FABPs, are a family of homologous cytoplasmic proteins that are expressed in a highly tissue-specific manner and play an integral role in the balance between lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. FABPs mediate fatty acid (FA) and/or hydrophobic ligand uptake, transport and targeting within their respective tissues. The mechanisms underlying these actions can give rise to both passive diffusional uptake and protein-mediated transmembrane transport of FAs. FABPs are expressed in adipocytes (A-FABP), brain (B-FABP), epidermis (E-FABP, also designated psoriasis-associated FABP or PA-FABP), muscle and heart (H-FABP, also designated mammary-derived growth inhibitor or MDGI), intestine (I-FABP), liver (L-FABP), myelin (M-FABP) and testis (T-FABP). Intestinal FABP (I-FABP) is an abundant cytosolic protein abundant in small intestine epithelial cells. The human gene maps to chromosome 4q26 and has a polymorphism at codon 54, which confers an alanine-encoding allele and a threonine-encoding allele. Threonine at position 54 is associated with increased fat oxidation and Insulin resistance.
Specificity:
FABP2 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of FABP2 protein.
