Recombinant Human FABP5, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: FABP5-28807TH
• Product Overview: Recombinant full length(Human) Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5; a 135 amino acid chain with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in epidermal cells, and was first identified as being upregulated in psoriasis tissue. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABPs may play roles in fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with type 2 diabetes. The human genome contains many pseudogenes similar to this locus.
• Conjugation: HIS
