Human SLC27A1 (Long-chain fatty acid transport protein 1) ELISA KIT (HUFI05248)

Measuring long-chain fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1), the Human SLC27A1 ELISA kit from Assay Genie offers researchers a quantitative immunoassay for characterising lipid uptake pathways in human samples. SLC27A1 encodes FATP1, a transmembrane acyl-CoA synthetase that facilitates cellular uptake of long-chain fatty acids and shapes how tissues such as skeletal muscle, heart, and adipose depots handle circulating lipids.

Investigators apply this kit to studies of obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular lipid handling. The assay supports investigation of how altered fatty acid transport contributes to ectopic lipid accumulation, myocardial lipid overload, and the metabolic dysregulation seen in insulin-resistant states. It also fits cancer metabolism research, where several tumour types upregulate fatty acid uptake to fuel proliferation.

Each kit provides reagents sufficient for 96 Assays run on a standard microplate reader with absorbance-based readout, allowing laboratories without specialised instrumentation to obtain quantitative protein data. The procedure follows a standard antibody-coated plate workflow with incubation and wash steps. Intended for research use only.
