FABP1 Antibody Microarray Validated Clone FABP1/3482 recognizes Liver fatty acid binding protein, also known as FABP1 or L-FABP, a cytoplasmic lipid binding protein encoded by the FABP1 gene on chromosome 2p11.2. Liver fatty acid binding protein is highly expressed in hepatocytes and plays a central role in intracellular transport and metabolism of long chain fatty acids. FABP1 belongs to the fatty acid binding protein family, a group of small cytoplasmic proteins that regulate lipid trafficking and lipid-mediated signaling pathways.
Liver fatty acid binding protein contains a characteristic beta barrel structure that forms a hydrophobic ligand binding pocket. This structure enables FABP1 to bind long chain fatty acids, bile acids, eicosanoids, and other hydrophobic ligands, facilitating their solubilization and transport within the cytoplasm. In hepatocytes, FABP1 participates in fatty acid uptake, beta oxidation, triglyceride synthesis, and regulation of lipid homeostasis. It also contributes to protection against lipotoxicity by buffering excess intracellular fatty acids.
In normal tissues, FABP1 expression is strongest in liver, where it is localized to the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. Lower levels of expression are reported in kidney proximal tubule epithelium and small intestinal enterocytes. Because of its abundant and relatively tissue-restricted expression, FABP1 antibody is widely used in research to study hepatocellular differentiation, liver metabolism, and metabolic disease models. Cytoplasmic staining in hepatocytes represents the expected localization pattern.
Clone FABP1/3482 has been validated using a human protein microarray platform containing thousands of full-length human proteins, supporting high target specificity for FABP1 with minimal cross-reactivity. Microarray validation provides additional confidence in antibody selectivity for applications involving hepatic biology and lipid metabolism research. FABP1 Antibody Microarray Validated Clone FABP1/3482 is a mouse monoclonal antibody suitable for detecting Liver fatty acid binding protein expression in relevant research applications.
Optimal dilution of the FABP1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 1-127 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the FABP1 antibody microarray validated clone FABP1/3482.
Store the FABP1 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
