Human Fatty Acid Transport Protein 1 (FATP1) ELISA Kit

This quantitative immunoassay kit from Assay Genie supports measurement of Fatty Acid Transport Protein 1 (FATP1) in human research specimens. FATP1, also designated SLC27A1, is a transmembrane fatty acid transporter expressed in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle, where it mediates cellular uptake of long-chain fatty acids and contributes to studies of lipid metabolism, insulin signaling, and energy homeostasis.

Research applications include metabolic disease investigations spanning obesity, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance, where altered FATP1 expression serves as an indicator of dysregulated fatty acid handling. Additional uses include cell culture supernatant analysis, tissue homogenate profiling, and serum or plasma biomarker work in translational and basic science programs.

Each package provides pre-coated microplate wells and reagents configured for 96 assays per kit, with a colorimetric readout compatible with standard absorbance plate readers. A detailed protocol insert describes sample preparation, reagent handling, and the step-by-step procedure. The product is intended for research use only and is not validated for diagnostic or clinical decision-making.
