FABP1 (rat recombinant)

Stability : 1 year
Formulation :
A solution in 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.2, containing 20% glycerol and 150 mM sodium chloride
Description :
Fatty acid binding protein 1 (FABP1) is one of nine known cytosolic FABPs ranging in size from 14-15 kDa containing 127-132 amino acids. FABP1 is composed of ten antiparallel β strands that form a barrel with a bigger binding pocket than the other FABPs allowing it to accommodate two fatty acids. Expression of FABP1 is decreased in hepatoblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma making the protein a potential tumor marker. Moreover, studies have suggested FABP1 as a potential biomarker for both liver and kidney injury.
