Recombinant Human FABP6/I-BABP Protein (His Tag)

N-His

Store at < -20°C, stable for 6 months. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

15 kDa

Fatty Acid-Binding Protein 6 (FABP6) is cytoplasmic protein that binds long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands which belongs to the calycin superfamily. FABP6 expression is restricted in the small intestine to the ileum where it is involved in the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. FABP6 forms a beta-barrel structure that accommodates the hydrophobic ligand in its interior. Isoform 2 is expressed in colorectal adenocarcinomas and their adjacent normal mucosa (at protein level). Isoform 1 is expressed in the jejunum, ileum, cecum and ascending colon intestine. FABP6 plays a role in fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. FABP6 stimulates gastric acid and pepsinogen secretion. It seems to be able to bind to bile salts and bilirubins.

< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20mM Tris-HCl, 0.5mM DTT, 50% Glycerol, pH 8.0.

Recombinant Human FABP6 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Ala128 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus.
