Anti-Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5/FABP5 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated
Product Specifications
Background
FABP5, Fatty acid-binding protein, epidermal, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FABP5 gene. This gene encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in epidermal cells, and was first identified as being upregulated in psoriasis tissue. It is mapped to 8q21.13. 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 though that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism.
Synonyms
Fatty acid-binding protein, epidermal; Epidermal-type fatty acid-binding protein; E-FABP; Fatty acid-binding protein 5; Psoriasis-associated fatty acid-binding protein homolog; PA-FABP; FABP5
