Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of FABP5. The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
FABP5, also named as PA-FABP and E-FABP, belongs to the calycin superfamily and Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. It is high specificity for fatty acids. FABP5 is highest affinity for C18 chain length. It may be involved in keratinocyte differentiation. FABP5 is a fatty acid-binding protein and is expressed in epidermis and endothelial cells of the microvasculature of different organs. FABP5 has also been identified as a tumor-associated antigen, which is highly expressed in various cancers. FABP5 was detected in the sera of HNSCC patients with early stage cancer. Antibodies specific for FABP5 were significantly increased in a substantial amount in patients, suggesting that FABP5 may be a potential diagnostic biomarker for HNSCC. FABP5 may serve as a biomarker for HNSCC.
