Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of FABP1 in rat serum, plasma.
Target Information: This gene encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in liver. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. This protein and FABP6 (the ileal fatty acid binding protein) are also able to bind bile acids. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism.
