Fatty Acid Binding Protein | h-FABP protein
Fatty Acid Binding Protein (FABP), Human Heart
Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available.
Human Fatty Acid Binding Proteins are tissue specific intracellular molecules. They are a class of cytoplasmic proteins that bind long chain fatty acid and play an important role in the intracellular utilization of fatty acids. In Acute Mycardial Infarction (AMI), FABP is rapidly released from damaged cardiomyocytes into the circulation due to its small size.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
ITGB1: an integral membrane protein that heterodimerizes with an alpha-3 chain, forming a receptor for many extracellular-matrix proteins including fibronectin, laminin, collagen, epiligrin and thrombospondin. . Beta 1 integrins recognize the amino-acid motif RGD in a wide array of ligands. Five alternatively spliced variants with alternate carboxy termini have been described. Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been described. Isoform beta-1a is widely expressed; other isoforms are generally expressed with a more restricted distribution. Isoform beta-1b is expressed in skin, liver, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, placenta, umbilical vein endothelial cells, neuroblastoma cells, lymphoma cells, hepatoma cells and astrocytoma cells. Isoforms beta-1c and beta-1c-2 are expressed in muscle, kidney, liver, placenta, cervical epithelium, umbilical vein endothelial cells, fibroblast cells, embryonal kidney cells, platelets and several blood cell lines. Isoform beta-c-2, rather than isoform beta-1c, is selectively expressed in primary t-cells. Isoform beta-1c is expressed in nonproliferating and differentiated prostate gland epithelial cells. Isoform beta-1d is expressed specifically in striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac muscle).

Product Notes
The h-FABP itgb1 (Catalog #AAA173080) is a Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Fatty Acid Binding Protein, Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
