Mouse Fatty Acid Transport Protein 5 ELISA Kit

This quantitative immunoassay from Antibodies.com measures Fatty Acid Transport Protein 5 (FATP5) in mouse samples, supporting research into hepatic lipid uptake and bile acid metabolism. The plate-based kit contains reagents sufficient for 96 tests, shipped in individual vials alongside a pre-coated microplate ready for laboratory use. Researchers working with mouse models of metabolic liver disease, hepatic steatosis, and fatty acid handling defects use this assay to quantify FATP5 concentrations in tissue homogenates and cell lysate preparations.

The protocol follows a quantitative ELISA approach with paired antibodies, and a standard curve is included for direct interpolation of sample values. Detection is read on a standard absorbance plate reader, and laboratories pair the kit with calibrators and internal controls to validate each run.

FATP5, encoded by the SLC27A5 gene, is a liver-enriched acyl-CoA synthetase that channels long-chain fatty acids into cellular metabolic pathways. Altered FATP5 expression has been documented in studies of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, peroxisomal biogenesis disorders, and bile acid metabolism defects, and the mouse-specific reactivity of this assay supports translational dietary intervention studies and knockout phenotype characterization. Storage of unopened kit components at 4 °C preserves antibody activity through the stated shelf life.
