Rat Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4, Adipocyte (FABP4) ELISA Kit

This quantitative immunoassay from Assay Genie measures rat Fatty Acid Binding Protein 4 (FABP4), a cytoplasmic lipid chaperone of approximately 14–15 kDa that is abundantly expressed in adipocytes and activated macrophages. Elevated circulating FABP4 has been linked in published research to obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular events, positioning the protein as a biomarker of interest in metabolic disease studies. The kit is supplied in a microplate format and supports in vitro quantification across multiple sample types collected from rat experimental models, giving investigators flexibility for both in vivo and ex vivo experimental designs. Researchers investigating adipose tissue differentiation, macrophage-driven inflammation, and lipid metabolism can integrate the assay into workflows alongside western blot, flow cytometry, and cell culture analyses. Reagents should be kept refrigerated between uses to maintain antibody binding activity, and standard ELISA wash and incubation protocols apply. Each kit is shipped as a complete pack of consumables containing all required reagents, allowing laboratories to run the assay without sourcing additional antibodies or standards.
