Rat intestinal fatty acid binding protein, iFABP ELISA Kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, urine, tissue homogenates Detection Range: 1.25 ng/mL-80 ng/mL Sensitivity: 0.312 ng/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: FABP are thought to play a role in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA esters. FABP2 is probably involved in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein synthesis. Binds saturated long-chain fatty acids with a high affinity, but binds with a lower affinity to unsaturated long-chain fatty acids. FABP2 may also help maintain energy homeostasis by functioning as a lipid sensor. [The UniProt Consortium]
