products description :
FABP2, also known as intestinal fatty acid binding protein 2 (I-FABP), is expressed in the epithelium of the small intestine by mature enterocytes. FABP2 is thought to facilitate of cellular uptake and transport of long-chain fatty acids within enterocytes and may also help maintain energy homeostasis by functioning as a lipid sensor. This protein binds saturated long-chain fatty acid with a high affinity, but binds with a low affinity to unsaturated long-chain fatty acid. The Ala to Thr substitution at residue 54 of FABP2 is associated with higher total cholesterol, with stroke incidence, elevation of fasting and postprandial triglyceride, insulin resistance, and higher nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations. Recombinant human FABP2, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

ncbi summary :
The intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) belong to a multigene family with nearly twenty identified members. FABPs are divided into at least three distinct types, namely the hepatic-, intestinal- and cardiac-type. They form 14-15 kDa proteins and are thought to participate in the uptake, intracellular metabolism and/or transport of long-chain fatty acids. They may also be responsible in the modulation of cell growth and proliferation. Intestinal fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene contains four exons and is an abundant cytosolic protein in small intestine epithelial cells. This gene has a polymorphism at codon 54 that identified an alanine-encoding allele and a threonine-encoding allele. Thr-54 protein is associated with increased fat oxidation and insulin resistance.

uniprot summary :
FABP2: FABP are thought to play a role in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acyl-CoA esters. FABP2 is probably involved in triglyceride-rich lipoprotein synthesis. Binds saturated long-chain fatty acids with a high affinity, but binds with a lower affinity to unsaturated long- chain fatty acids. FABP2 may also help maintain energy homeostasis by functioning as a lipid sensor. Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q28-q31. Cellular Component: cytoplasm. Molecular Function: transporter activity; fatty acid binding. Biological Process: transport; digestion
