Description :
Fatty acid binding protein 4 (AFABP; adipocyte FABP; FAPB4) is a 15 kDa member of the intracellular FABP family, which is known for the ability to bind fatty acids and related compounds (bile acids or retinoids). AFABP is expressed in a differentiation-dependent fashion in adipocytes and is a critical gene in the regulation of the biological function of these cells. In mice, targeted mutations in FABP4 (gene also called: aP2) provides significant protection from hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in the context of both dietary and genetic obesity. AFABP is also expressed in macrophages where it modulates inflammatory responses and cholesterol ester accumulation.
Specificity :
AFABP (chicken) <0.1% 
AFABP (goat) <0.1% 
AFABP (hamster) <0.1%
