FABP5 (human recombinant)

Stability:1 year
Storage:-80°C
Formulation:
A solution in 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.2, containing 20% glycerol and 100 mM sodium chloride
Description:FABP5 is found in skin, brain, lens, capillary epithelium, and retina. Studies suggest that FABPs are involved in the uptake and metabolism of fatty acids, in the maintenance of cellular 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. FABP family members have highly conserved three dimensional structures and 22-73% amino acid sequence similarity. The presence of one or more disulphide bridges is a unique feature of FABP5 that may be physiologically relevant. Elevated levels of FABP5 have been observed in prostate and bladder carcinoma.
