Mouse Fatty acid-binding protein, intestinal (Fabp2) ELISA Kit

Assay Genie offers a Sandwich ELISA Kit designed for the accurate quantification of mouse Fatty acid-binding protein, intestinal (Fabp2) levels in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids. The kit reacts with mouse samples and is intended for cardiovascular research, with relevance to metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, where dysregulation of FABP2 has been linked.

Key performance specifications include a detection range of 78-5000pg/mL, a sensitivity of 40.3pg/mL, an intra-assay CV of 4.2%, and an inter-assay CV of 8.3%. Recovery is reported at 103% (range 97-109%) for serum and 105% (range 99-111%) for plasma, with linearity spanning 84-120% across serum, EDTA plasma, and heparin plasma dilutions. The assay is specific for natural and recombinant mouse Fatty acid-binding protein, intestinal.

FABP2, also known as intestinal fatty acid-binding protein or I-FABP, is a cytoplasmic protein involved in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA esters, and is probably involved in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein synthesis. It binds saturated long-chain fatty acids with high affinity and may help maintain energy homeostasis by functioning as a lipid sensor. The kit is for research use only.
