FABP1 Rat

Source: Escherichia Coli.Sterile Filtered clear solution.FABP1 (Fatty acid binding protein1) encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in liver. FABP1 is composed of ten antiparallel beta strands that form a barrel with a bigger binding pocket than the other FABPs allowing it to accommodate two fatty acid. This protein binds free fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives, bilirubin, and some other small molecules in the cytoplasm, it may be involved in intracellular lipid transport and metabolism.FABP1 Rat Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 150 amino acids (1-127) and having a molecular mass of 16.7kDa.FABP1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Protein function: Plays a role in lipoprotein-mediated cholesterol uptake in hepatocytes. Binds cholesterol (PubMed:25732850). Binds free fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives, bilirubin, and some other small molecules in the cytoplasm. May be involved in intracellular lipid transport. [The UniProt Consortium]
