Mouse FABP6 (Fatty Acid Binding Protein 6, Ileal) ELISA Kit (MOES01011)

This immunoassay from Assay Genie enables quantitative measurement of mouse Fatty Acid Binding Protein 6, ileal (FABP6/I-BABP/gastrotropin) in laboratory samples. FABP6 is a cytosolic carrier protein selectively expressed in ileal enterocytes, where it mediates cellular uptake and intracellular shuttling of bile acids from the intestinal lumen. Because of this biology, the kit supports research into bile acid homeostasis, enterohepatic circulation, intestinal epithelial physiology, inflammatory bowel disease models, and metabolic disorders affecting the gut-liver axis.

The kit is supplied as a complete microplate-format package with pre-coated wells, ready-to-use reagents, and an analyte-specific standard curve. It is validated for mouse reactivity and works with multiple sample matrices including serum and tissue-derived preparations commonly used in murine research. The protocol follows an add-incubate-read workflow with an absorbance-based readout on standard plate readers, producing results compatible with routine ELISA instrumentation. Researchers studying sterol transport, gut barrier function, ileal adaptation following resection or bariatric procedures, or the molecular basis of bile acid diarrhea will find this a focused reagent for tracking ileal bile acid binding protein dynamics in mouse model systems.
