Alpha Diagnostic International, Inc. Human FABP (heart/adipocyte) Control/blocking peptide #1 FABP11-P

Human FABP (heart/adipocyte) Control/blocking peptide #1 General Information Fatty acids are important for general cellular metabolism. FABPs (fatty acid binding proteins) are a group of cytoplasmic, small mol wt (14-15 kDa) and proteins that has widespread tissue distribution. FABPs are quite abundant (3-5% of total cellular pr SugApplications Control or blocking peptides are recommended for ELISA plate coating for direct ELISA testing of antibodies or competitive ELISA, and antibody blocking or neutralization. SpeciesReactivity Human Form Antigen/blocking Peptide Antigen 12-aa peptide of human FABP ((heart/adipocyte); Designated (FABP11-P or control peptide) conjugated to KLH; epitope location ~ C-terminus SpCrossreactivity The FABP11-P peptide sequence homology has 100% homology with 132 aa human adipocyte lipid binding protein (hALBP) and mouse/rat H-FABPs, 91% homology with human muscle FABP, pig and bovine H-FABPs. No significant homology is seen with other isoforms of FABPs. The FABP11-P sequence is also quite conserved in species as diverse as fish and C. elegans FABP. Antibody crossreactivity in various species and isoforms has not been studies. For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
