Sandwich High Sensitivity ELISA kit for Quantitative Detection of Rat FABP4

protein_function: Lipid transport protein in adipocytes. Binds both longchain fatty acids and retinoic acid. Delivers long-chain fattyacids and retinoic acid to their cognate receptors in the nucleus(By similarity)..
FABP4, also known as aP2 (adipocyte Protein 2), encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in adipocytes. The FABP4 gene is mapped to 8q21. FABP4 functions as a cytosolic lipid chaperone in macrophages and is involved in regulating macrophage endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Aditionally, FABP4 protein is expressed in HBEs and is strongly upregulated by both IL4 and IL13 and downregulated by IFN-gamma, suggesting a role in allergic airway inflammation.
