FABP4 Protein, Human (His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

FABP4 Protein, expressed mainly in adipocytes, crucially mediates lipid and retinoic acid transport. It binds long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid, facilitating delivery to nuclear receptors. Functioning as a monomer and forming homodimers, FABP4 interacts with PPARG, contributing to its involvement in fatty acid metabolism and signaling pathways. FABP4 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived FABP4 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

FABP4 Protein, expressed mainly in adipocytes, crucially mediates lipid and retinoic acid transport. It binds long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid, facilitating delivery to nuclear receptors. Functioning as a monomer and forming homodimers, FABP4 interacts with PPARG, contributing to its involvement in fatty acid metabolism and signaling pathways. FABP4 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived FABP4 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Background

FABP4, a lipid transport protein predominantly expressed in adipocytes, serves as a crucial mediator in lipid and retinoic acid transport. Its role involves binding to both long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid, facilitating their delivery to respective receptors within the nucleus. FABP4 functions as a monomer and can form homodimers. Additionally, it engages in interactions with PPARG, contributing to its involvement in key processes related to fatty acid metabolism and signaling pathways.

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4, 8% trehalose.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
