FABP5 / Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Recombinant Protein | FABP5 recombinant protein
Human FABP5 / Fatty Acid-Binding Protein, Epidermal Recombinant Protein
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in epidermal cells, and was first identified as being upregulated in psoriasis tissue. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABPs may play roles in fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with type 2 diabetes. The human genome contains many pseudogenes similar to this locus.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
Uniprot Description
FABP5: High specificity for fatty acids. Highest affinity for C18 chain length. Decreasing the chain length or introducing double bonds reduces the affinity. May be involved in keratinocyte differentiation. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.
Protein type: Lipid-binding
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8q21.13
Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; cytoplasm; cytosol
Molecular Function: protein binding; transporter activity; fatty acid binding; lipid binding
Biological Process: epidermis development; phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process; glucose metabolic process; glucose transport; lipid metabolic process

Product Notes
The FABP5 fabp5 (Catalog #AAA2901757) is a Recombinant Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's FABP5 / Fatty Acid-Binding Protein can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Antigen Protein (AP), Protein Array. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the FABP5 fabp5 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "FABP5 / Fatty Acid-Binding Protein, Recombinant 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
