Fatty acid-binding protein, adipocyte

FABP4 is a fatty acid binding protein in adipocytes. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABPs regulate the fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. aP2, the mouse form of FABP4, seems to be central to the pathway that links obesity to insulin resistance. aP2 was shown to be an adipokine linking adipocytes to hepatic glucose production and that neutralizing secreted aP2 may represent an effective therapeutic strategy against diabetes. - Protein. Human FABP4 (aa 1-132) is fused at the C-terminus to a His-tag. Source: E. coli. Endotoxin content: <1EU/microg purified protein (LAL test; Lonza).
