MyBioSource.com's Rabbit Anti-Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: Other. The Rabbit Anti-Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Antibody was generated using FABP3 as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) belongs to a multigene family. FABPs are divided into at least three distinct types, namely the hepatic-, intestinal- and cardiac-type. They form 14-15 kDa proteins and are thought to participate in the uptake, intracellular metabolism and/or transport of long-chain fatty acids. They may also be responsible in the modulation of cell growth and proliferation. Fatty acid-binding protein 3 gene contains four exons and its function is to arrest growth of mammary epithelial cells. FABP3 gene is a candidate tumor suppressor gene for human breast cancer
