Human Fatty Acid Binding Protein 6, Ileal (FABP6) ELISA Kit

The Assay Genie FABP6 immunoassay kit delivers quantitative measurement of ileal fatty acid-binding protein in human research specimens using a microplate format sufficient for ninety-six determinations. FABP6, also referred to as I-BABP or ileal bile acid-binding protein, is a small (~14 kDa) cytosolic carrier expressed predominantly by ileal enterocytes, where it binds bile acids and supports enterohepatic recirculation. Circulating FABP6 concentrations are investigated as a biomarker of intestinal mucosal injury, inflammatory bowel disease, bile acid malabsorption, primary biliary cholangitis, and broader hepatobiliary dysfunction.

Sample compatibility spans serum samples, plasma preparations, tissue homogenate supernatants, and cell-derived lysates, supporting flexible study designs that range from clinical screening to animal model tissue evaluation. Each kit provides pre-coated microplate wells, assay buffer, detection reagents, and a standard curve sufficient for 96 single-use strip wells. Reagents should be equilibrated to room temperature before initiating the protocol, and the kit is labeled for research use only, not for diagnostic procedures.

Typical laboratory workflows include ELISA-based biomarker validation, western blot companion quantification, immunohistochemistry correlation studies, flow cytometry surface-marker follow-up, and cell culture supernatant profiling in academic and translational programs targeting gastrointestinal inflammation, bile acid homeostasis, and colorectal mucosal biology.
