Recombinant Human FABP2 Protein

• Cat.No.: FABP2-248H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human FABP2(Ala2-Asp132) was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Protein Length: 2-132 a.a.
• Description: The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) belong to a multigene family with nearly twenty identified members. FABPs are divided into at least three distinct types, namely the hepatic-, intestinal- and cardiac-type. They form 14-15 kDa proteins and are thought to participate in the uptake, intracellular metabolism and/or transport of long-chain fatty acids. They may also be responsible in the modulation of cell growth and proliferation. Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene contains four exons and is an abundant cytosolic protein in small intestine epithelial cells. This gene has a polymorphism at codon 54 that identified an alanine-encoding allele and a threonine-encoding allele. Thr-54 protein is associated with increased fat oxidation and insulin resistance.
• Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 µM filtered solution of 20mM Phosphate buffer, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.4. Stable for at least 6 months from date of receipt under proper storage and handling conditions.
• Molecular Mass: 18.4 kDa
• Endotoxin: < 0.1 EU per µg protein as determined by LAL test
• Purity: >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie blue staining
• Concentration: Resuspend the protein to the desired concentration in proper buffer.
