Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes fatty acid-binding protein, liver (gene Fabp1) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 14.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 14 kDa.
Liver fatty acid-binding protein (FABP1, L-FABP) is an abundant cytosolic protein in hepatocytes and enterocytes. It binds long-chain fatty acids, acyl-CoAs, bilirubin and other hydrophobic molecules, helping move them within the cell for metabolism, and it is studied in hepatic lipid handling and as a marker of liver and kidney injury.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat liver tissue, mouse liver tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant rat liver FABP fragment (Met1–Ile127), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt places fatty acid-binding protein, liver in the cytoplasm. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
