Recombinant Mouse FABP1 protein

Recombinant Mouse FABP1 protein

• Background: The fatty-acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of carrier proteins for fatty acids and other lipophilic substances such as eicosanoids and retinoids. These proteins are thought to facilitate the transfer of fatty acids between extra- and intracellular membranes. Fatty acid-binding protein 1 (FABP1) encoded by the FABP1 gene, also known as liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), is a member of FABP family and it is a small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins. In addition, FABP1 binds free fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives, bilirubin, and some other small molecules in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, it may be involved in intracellular lipid transport. Through amino acid sequence comparison, Mouse FABP1 shares 84 % and 94 % a.a. sequence identity with human and rat FABP1.
