other gene names :
FABP2; FABP2; FABPI; I-FABP; FABPI; I-FABP
uniprot entry name :
FABPI_HUMAN
specificity :
This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of iFABP2. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between iFABP2 and analogues was observed. NOTE: Limited by current skills and knowledge, it is impossible for us to complete the cross-reactivity detection between iFABP2 and all the analogues, therefore, cross reaction may still exist in some cases.
storage stability :
Store all reagents at 2-8 degree C.
other info1 :
Samples: Serum, plasma, Cell Culture Supernatants, body fluid and tissue homogenate. Assay Type: Competitive. Sensitivity: 0.1 ng/mL.
other info2 :
Intended Uses: This iFABP2 ELISA kit is a 1.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed for the quantitative determination of Canine iFABP2. This ELISA kit for research use only, not for therapeutic or diagnostic applications!
products description :
Principle of the assay: iFABP2 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-iFABP2 antibody and an iFABP2-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with iFABP2-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the iFABP2 concentration since iFABP2 from samples and iFABP2-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-iFABP2 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by iFABP2 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind iFABP2-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The iFABP2 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

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
