FABP are thought to play a role in the intracellular transport of long-chain fatty acids and their acylCoA esters. FABPs play key roles as transport vehicles of fatty compounds throughout the cytoplasm. In addition to maintain the levels of cellular membrane fatty acids, FABP family members are found to function in the modulation of cell growth and differentiation and in the modulation of specific enzymes. Human FABP3, one of the FABPs, is present in a wide variety of tissues with the highest concentrationsin cardiac and skeletal muscle. FABP3 has been used as a serological biomarker of cardiac injury.

The antibody can specifically bind to its immunogen, and did not show any cross reactivity with unrelated antigens in ELISA. The specificity for binding to recombinant protein, cellular protein and native antigen is not defined. Cross reactivity with mouse and rat FABP3 has not yet been tested.

The antibody is stable for years from the data of receipt when stored at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted antibody (suggesting with sterile PBS) can be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer for months without detectable loss activity. Upon reconstitution, the antibody can also be stored at 4°C for 1 month. Store at -20°C, if not intended for use within a month, keep it at 4°C and minimize freezing and thawing when use.
