Background:
Human Fatty Epidermal Acid Binding Protein FABP also called FABP-5 is a 15 kD member of the intracellular fatty acid binding protein (FABP) family, which is known for the ability to bind fatty acids and related compounds ( bile acids or retinoids). in an internal cavity. The fatty acid binding proteins aP2 (fatty acid binding protein [FABP]-4) and mal1 (EFABP) are closely related and both are expressed in adipocytes. Absence of EFABP/mal1 resulted in increased systemic insulin sensitivity in two models of obesity and insulin resistance. Adipocytes isolated from mal1-deficient mice also exhibited enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose transport capacity. In contrast, mice expressing high levels of mal1 in adipose tissue display reduced systematic insulin activity.
Description:
Recombinant Human Epidermal Fatty Acid Binding Protein(FABP-5) is a monodimeric, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 135 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 15200 Daltons.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
Sterile filtered and lyophilized from 0.5 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline.
Specificity:
The amino acid sequence of the recombinant human FABP5 is 100% homologous to the amino acid sequence of the human FABP-5.
Purification Method:
Two-step procedure using size exclusion chromatography before and after refolding.
Purity:
>90% (SDS-PAGE analyzed)
Reconstitution:
Add 0.2 ml of dH20 and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely.
Storage:
Store lyophilized protein at -20蚓. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to
avoid freeze-thaw cycles.Reconstituted protein can be stored at
4蚓 for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at
4蚓.
Stability/Shelf Life:
The lyophilized protein remains stable until the expiry date when stored at -20蚓.
Applications:
Western blotting, ELISA
