Bovine Fatty acid-binding protein, liver (FABP1) ELISA Kit

Built for the quantitative measurement of liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (FABP1) in bovine specimens, this Sandwich ELISA from Assay Genie offers a sensitive and specific platform for studies of hepatic lipid metabolism in bovine models.

The kit reacts with bovine FABP1 and is validated for serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The manufacturer reports a detection range of 6.25-400ng/mL and a sensitivity of 3.125ng/mL. Specificity covers both natural and recombinant bovine FABP1. At the protein level, FABP1 plays a role in lipoprotein-mediated cholesterol uptake in hepatocytes, binds cholesterol along with free fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives, binds bilirubin and some other small molecules in the cytoplasm, and may be involved in intracellular lipid transport.

Suitable for research into metabolic disorders, liver damage and related health conditions, the assay supports investigation of fatty acid metabolism and liver function in cattle.
