| Description: |
Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved,
cytoplasmic proteins (14-15kDa) that bind long chain fatty acids, their CoA
derivatives, billiruben, organic anions and other small hydrophobic
molecules. They are abundantly present in various cell types and due to
their small size rapidly leak from damaged cells leading to a rise in serum
levels.
RANDOX recombinant M-FABP comprises a 132 amino acid fragment
(1-132) corresponding to the human myelin FABP protein and is
expressed in E. coli with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag. This product
is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic
use.
