FABP1

A gene on chromosome 2p11 that encodes a hepatic fatty acid-binding protein that binds long-chain fatty acids, other hydrophobic ligands and bile acids; it may be involved in intracellular lipid transport.

It has been observed that human liver-and heart-type FABP (FABP1 and FABP3) are expressed in the proximal and distal renal tubular cells, respectively (14, 15), and increased amounts of FABP1 in urine have been postulated as a clinical marker of renal tubulointerstitial damage (16, 17).
The antibodies in human FABP4 ELISA are highly specific for human FABP4, with no detectable cross-reactivity to human FABP1, FABP2, FABP3, or FABP5.
