Rat Fatty Acid Binding Protein 1, Liver (FABP1) ELISA Kit

Quantitative measurement of liver-type fatty acid binding protein in rat research samples is delivered by this ELISA from Assay Genie, a 96-assay immunoassay specific for rat FABP1, also called L-FABP, a 14 kDa intracellular lipid carrier expressed in hepatocytes.

Rat L-FABP is widely used as a circulating biomarker for hepatocellular injury and is frequently evaluated in preclinical toxicology, drug-induced liver injury studies, and hepatic disease models. Concentrations rise rapidly in serum or plasma following hepatocyte damage, supporting non-invasive monitoring of liver health in rodent studies.

The assay produces a colorimetric readout on a standard microplate reader and is validated for use with rat serum samples, plasma samples, tissue homogenates, and cell culture supernatants. Each kit supplies reagents for 96 individual determinations, supporting both small mechanistic studies and larger compound-evaluation panels.

Typical applications include hepatotoxicity screening, ischemia-reperfusion injury research, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease modeling, and characterization of metabolic or xenobiotic effects on hepatic function in rats.
