Anti-liver FABP/FABP1 Antibody Picoband® (HRP Conjugate)

Fatty acid binding protein 1, liver, also known as FABP1 or FABPL, is a human gene locating at 2p11. FABP1 encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in liver. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind free fatty acids, their CoA derivatives, bilirubin, organic anions, and other small molecules. FABP1 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 metaboism. The liver form of FABP may be identical to the major liver protein-1 (Lvp-1), which is encoded by a gene situated within 1 cM of Ly-2.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human liver FABP, different from the related mouse sequence by two amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by four amino acids.

Binds free fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives, bilirubin, and some other small molecules in the cytoplasm. May be involved in intracellular lipid transport.
