Product Specific Information

Immunohistochemistry (PFA fixed): Incubate antibody for 30 min at room temperature.
Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA (pH 9.0) for 45 min at 95°C, followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Target Information

FABP5 (fatty acid binding protein 5, psoriasis-associated) is a protein encoded by the FABP5 gene in humans, also known as PAFABP, EFABP, E-FABP, KFABP, PA-FABP, Epidermal-type fatty acid-binding protein, Fatty acid-binding protein 5, and Psoriasis-associated fatty acid-binding protein homolog.
It belongs to a family of small, highly conserved cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. The PAFABP cDNA encodes a 135-amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 15,164 Da.
FABP5 is expressed in epidermal cells and was first identified as being upregulated in psoriatic tissue. Its roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism.
Kaczocha et al. (2009) identified FABP5 and FABP7 as cytosolic proteins that transport AEA from the plasma membrane to subcellular fatty acid amide hydrolase, where it is hydrolyzed and inactivated. FABP3 did not show this specific transport function.
