products description :
FABP-6 is a cytosolic protein that binds bile acids with a high affinity. In the small intestine, its expression is restricted to the ileum where it is involved in the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. Alternate transcription promoters generate two transcript variants, encoding a 128 aa and a 177 aa residue protein. Human FABP6 isoform 2 contains 128 amino acid residues and is believed to be acetylated on Ala2. It binds both fatty acids and bile acids and has roles in fatty acid transport and metabolism. Recombinant human FABP-6 was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes the ileal fatty acid binding protein. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABP6 and FABP1 (the liver fatty acid binding protein) are also able to bind bile acids. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Transcript variants generated by alternate transcription promoters and/or alternate splicing have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
FABP6: Ileal protein which stimulates gastric acid and pepsinogen secretion. Seems to be able to bind to bile salts and bilirubins. Isoform 2 is essential for the survival of colon cancer cells to bile acid-induced apoptosis. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative promoter. Protein type: Lipid-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 5q33.3-q34. Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol. Molecular Function: transporter activity; lipid binding. Biological Process: bile acid and bile salt transport; negative regulation of cell proliferation; bile acid metabolic process; lipid metabolic process; transmembrane transport
