Background
Fatty acid-binding protein, adipocyte(FABP4) is a biological molecule commonly studied in signal transduction research. It is commonly used as a molecular readout in mechanistic and biomarker-focused studies.
UniProt: P04117
Biological context
Researchers often monitor Fatty acid-binding protein, adipocyte(FABP4) in serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates to better understand themes such as mechanistic biology studies, biomarker-focused profiling, and disease-model research. In many model systems, measured levels can shift with physiology, experimental perturbation, or disease-associated changes, making careful biological interpretation important.
Interpreting changes in measured levels
Depending on sample matrix and study design, increases or decreases in Fatty acid-binding protein, adipocyte(FABP4) may reflect differences in expression, secretion, turnover, or compartmentalization rather than a single mechanism. Interpretation is typically strengthened by evaluating related molecules (for example, complementary pathway markers and controls appropriate to the biological model) and by keeping pre-analytical variables consistent across groups.
Nomenclature
In publications and databases, Fatty acid-binding protein, adipocyte(FABP4) may also appear under names such as Fabp4 and Ap2. When comparing studies, confirm that the reported analyte refers to the same molecule and species context.
Why ELISA data are widely used
ELISA is a common approach for quantitative measurement of proteins and biomarkers in complex samples, enabling comparisons across experimental groups and time points. When integrating results with other readouts, consider species biology, sample type, and the broader pathway context that Fatty acid-binding protein, adipocyte(FABP4) participates in.
