Recombinant Human Epidermal Fatty Acid Binding Protein (FABP-5) is a monodimeric, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 135 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 15200 Daltons.

Protein Background

Human Fatty Epidermal Acid Binding Protein FABP also called FABP-5 is a 15 kD member of the intracellular fatty acid binding protein (FABP) family, which is known for the ability to bind fatty acids and related compounds ( bile acids or retinoids). In an

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Fatty acid-binding protein epidermal, E-FABP, Fatty acid-binding protein 5, Psoriasis-associated fatty acid-binding protein homolog, PA-FABP, FABP5, EFABP, PAFABP.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C.

Purification Method

Two-step procedure using size exclusion chromatography before and after refolding.
