MA5-15573 targets FABP2 in indirect ELISA, FACS, IF, IHC, and WB applications and shows reactivity with Human samples.
The MA5-15573 immunogen is purified recombinant fragment of human FABP2 expressed in E. Coli.
MA5-15573 detects FABP2 which has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 15kDa.
The FABP2 gene encodes the intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 (I-FABP), which plays a significant role in lipid metabolism by facilitating the transport and intracellular trafficking of long-chain fatty acids in enterocytes, the absorptive cells in the intestine. FABP2 is involved in the uptake, metabolism, and transfer of fatty acids across cellular membranes, contributing to digestion and absorption processes in the intestine. This protein is crucial for efficient lipid metabolism, influencing fatty acid oxidation, and energy balance. Variations in the FABP2 gene have been associated with metabolic traits, such as insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, and obesity, suggesting its impact on metabolic health. FABP2's function in intestinal lipid absorption and metabolism makes it a subject of interest in studies related to dietary effects on health and the development of metabolic disorders. Understanding FABP2's role is essential for insights into nutritional influences on health and possible therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases.
