FABP4 (murine recombinant)

Stability :1 year
Formulation :
A solution in 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.2, containing 20% glycerol and 150 mM sodium chloride
Description :
Studies suggest that FABPs are involved in the uptake and metabolism of fatty acids, in the maintenance of cellular membrane fatty acid levels, in intracellular trafficking of these substrates, in the modulation of specific enzymes of lipid metabolic pathways, and in the modulation of cell growth and differentiation. Studies using FABP4 gene deletion in mice indicate a dominant role for FABP4 in several chronic metabolic diseases. Therefore, inhibiting the function of FABP4 is a potential mechanism for the treatment of metabolic diseases like diabetes and atherosclerosis.
