Preparation and Storage

Background: FABP1/L-FABP

FABP1 (fatty acid binding protein-1; also Liver-type fatty acid binding protein/L-FABP and 14 kDa Selenium-binding protein) is a 14-15 kDa intracellular member of the fatty acid binding protein family, calycin superfamily of molecules. It is expressed by intestinal epithelium and hepatocytes, and is known to bind both cholesterol and long-chain fatty acids in the cytosol. As fatty acids diffuse across the plasma membrane, they are sequestered by FABP1, facilitating fatty acid diffusion into the cell. FABP1 also binds bile acids and cholesterol, and transports cholesterol from one membrane compartment to another. Mouse FABP1 is 127 amino acids (aa) in length. It is a two beta -sheet molecule that contains an acetylated initiating methionine. Full-length mouse FABP1 shares 94% and 84% aa identity with rat and human FABP1, respectively.
