FABP6 Antibody

Fatty acid binding protein 6, also called ILBP, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the FABP6 gene. It is a member of a family of intracellular fatty acid, retinoid, and bile acid-binding proteins. Fatty acid binding proteins are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABP6 and FABP1 (the liver fatty acid binding protein) are also able to bind bile acids. It is though that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism.
