The skinny on fatty acid-binding protein.
iomarkers have come to play an increasingly important ole in the evaluation and management of patients with uspected acute coronary syndromes (ACS). To date, cariac troponins T and I remain the best established biomarers in ACS for both diagnosis and risk assessment. In ddition to providing high sensitivity and specificity for etecting myocardial necrosis, troponins provide assessment f the ris...
متن کاملEnterocyte fatty acid uptake and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein.
This article reviews our current understanding of the uptake of fatty acids by the enterocytes of the intestine. The micellar solubilization of fatty acids by bile salts and the factors regulating that process are discussed. The mechanism of how micellar solubilization of fatty acids promotes the uptake of fatty acids by enterocytes and their relative importance is reviewed. Additionally, discu...
متن کاملFatty acid-binding protein from embryonic chick retina resembles mammalian heart fatty acid-binding protein.
PURPOSE Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) make up a family of cytosolic proteins of unknown function found in many tissues, including the embryonic chick retina. To further understand its function in the developing retina, the protein from embryonic chicks was purified and characterized. The tissue distribution of this protein in embryonic and hatched chicks was determined using polyclonal ant...
متن کاملCirculating Levels of Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Family and Metabolic Phenotype in the General Population
OBJECTIVE Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of 14-15-kDa proteins, and some FABPs have been to be used as biomarkers of tissue injury by leak from cells. However, recent studies have shown that FABPs can be secreted from cells into circulation. Here we examined determinants and roles of circulating FABPs in a general population. METHODS From the database of the Tanno-Sobetsu St...
متن کاملThe purification and characterization of a fatty acid binding protein specific to pig (Sus domesticus) adipose tissue.
Western-blot analysis using antiserum to 3T3-L1-cell fatty acid binding protein (FABP) revealed that pig adipose tissue contains a 15 kDa protein immunologically similar to the murine protein. This 15 kDa protein was purified from pig adipose tissue by sequential application of Sephadex G-50 gel filtration, cation exchange and covalent chromatography on Thiol-Sepharose-4B. The purity of the pig...
