Anti-FABP6 Antibody

Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 6 (FABP6), also called ileal bile acid-binding protein (I-BABP) or gastrotropin, is a small cytosolic carrier that shuttles bile acids within enterocytes of the distal small intestine, and Antibodies.com distributes a rabbit polyclonal reagent raised against this target for laboratory research. Supplied as a 100 µl aliquot of unconjugated antiserum, this primary antibody is validated for Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows and is reactive with both human and mouse samples, supporting comparative investigations of intestinal lipid transport, enterocyte differentiation, and bile acid homeostasis in translational research programs. The reagent functions effectively as a tissue-specific marker in IHC of gut sections because expression of FABP6 is largely restricted to the ileal epithelium, and it yields a discrete signal in Western blot analyses of intestinal mucosal lysates at the expected molecular weight. Investigators studying enterohepatic circulation, bile acid transporter biology, or metabolic disorders of the gut can incorporate this antibody into lysate-based and section-based assays following standard immunodetection protocols without additional species-specific optimization.
