Anti-SLC27A5 Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal antibody from Antibodies.com targets human SLC27A5, the liver-enriched fatty acid transport protein 5 (FATP5) that functions as a bile acyl-CoA synthetase. The unconjugated IgG is supplied as 100 µL of antiserum in a vial suitable for Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence workflows.

SLC27A5 localizes to the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes and is essential for reconjugating bile acids that have been deconjugated during enterohepatic cycling. Researchers studying hepatic lipid metabolism, bile acid homeostasis, and cholestatic liver disease use this reagent to probe FATP5 expression in liver tissue and hepatocyte-derived cell lines. The polyclonal host increases the likelihood of detecting the target across multiple epitopes, which is helpful when working with partially denatured samples on western blot membranes or fixed sections in IHC.

Store the vial refrigerated at 4 °C for short-term use, or aliquot and freeze at -20 °C for longer storage; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The reagent is validated for human reactivity and is intended for research use only. Each vial provides enough volume for a substantial series of blotting or staining experiments at conventional working dilutions.
