Target Information

Fatty acid binding proteins (FABP) are small (approximately 13–14 kDa) intracellular proteins with high tissue specificity.
FABPs bind long-chain fatty acids and play an important role in intracellular fatty acid utilization.
There are at least six distinct types of FABP, each showing specific tissue expression patterns.
Due to their small size, FABPs rapidly leak out of damaged cells, leading to increased serum levels.
Liver FABP serves as a sensitive marker for liver cell damage both in vitro and in vivo.
Damaged tissues show histological absence or low levels of FABP, aiding in tissue damage recognition.
L-FABP is also used as a marker for rapid hepatocyte lysis in toxicology assays and for detecting liver damage during or after transplantation.
