Rat Fatty Acid Transport Protein 1 (FATP1) ELISA Kit

FATP1, also known as SLC27A1, is a 71 kDa integral membrane protein that mediates long-chain fatty acid uptake across the plasma membrane and activates imported substrates to acyl-CoA thioesters. In rat tissues, FATP1 is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, and adipose depots, where it is regulated by insulin and contributes to systemic lipid homeostasis. The Assay Genie kit is supplied with a pre-coated microplate, wash buffer, detection antibody, chromogen, and recombinant standard for accurate curve fitting. Store unopened components refrigerated at 4°C, protect from light, and aliquot samples to limit freeze-thaw cycles before use in studies of metabolic disorders, obesity, and insulin resistance.
