Description
Product Characteristics: The AssayMax™ Human FABP4 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) Kit is designed for detection of FABP4 in human plasma, serum, urine, milk, CSF, and cell culture samples. This assay employs a quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique that measures human FABP4 in approximately 5 hours. A polyclonal antibody specific for human FABP4 has been pre-coated onto a 96-well microplate with removable strips. FABP4 in standards and samples is sandwiched by the immobilized antibody and a biotinylated polyclonal antibody specific for human FABP4, which is recognized by a streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) conjugate. All unbound material is washed away and a peroxidase enzyme substrate is added. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
Target Information: FABP4 encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
