Synonyms:
Fatty acid-binding protein 1 liver, L-FABP, FABPL, FABP-1, FABP1, Z-protein.

Introduction:
FABP1 (Fatty acid binding protein1) encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in liver. 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 acid. This protein binds free fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives, bilirubin, and some other small molecules in the cytoplasm; it may be involved in intracellular lipid transport and metabolism.

Description:
FABP1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 147 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 16 kDa. The protein is fused to His-Tag and N-terminus.
The FABP-1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source:
Escherichia Coli.

Formulation:
The protein solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8.

Stability:
FABP-1 although stable 4°C for 4 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
