FABP4/ALBP His Tag Protein, Mo

Fatty acid binding protein-4 (FABP4; also named A- (adipocyte) FABP, ALBP, or adipocyte protein 2 (aP2)) is a member of a large superfamily of lipid binding proteins that are expressed in a tissue specific manner. FABP4 is one of ten cytoplasmic FABPs that are 14-15 kDa in size and range from 126-140 amino acids (aa) in length. Although all are highly conserved in their tertiary structure, there is only modest aa identity between any two members. FABP4 is not only a lipid transporter in fat cells. It also combines long-chain fatty acids and retinoic acid. Delivery of long chain fatty acids and retinoic acids to homologous receptors in the nucleus.
