• Cat.No.: FABP4-268H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human A-FABP comprises a 132 amino acid fragment (1-132) corresponding to the human adipocyte FABP protein and is expressed in E. coli with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Protein Length: 1-132 a.a.
• Description: Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins (14-15kDa) that bind long chain fatty acids, their CoA derivatives, billiruben, organic anions and other small hydrophobic molecules. A-FABP (or FABP-4) is a fat cell specific protein that is considered to facilitate the bidirectional flux of fatty acids into and out of the adipocyte in response to insulin and epinephrine.
• Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE
