Overlay histogram showing THP1 cells stained with ab93945 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab93945, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H&L) (ab150113) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in THP1 cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Supplementary information

Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) also known as aP2 is a member of the fatty acid-binding protein family. It predominantly exists in adipocytes and macrophages serving an important role in lipid metabolism and transport. FABP4 facilitates the binding and transport of long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic molecules within cells. The molecular weight of FABP4 is approximately 14-15 kDa. It exhibits high expression levels in adipose tissue and is inducible in macrophages under certain conditions.
Biological function summary

This protein participates in the regulation of lipid homeostasis and energy metabolism. FABP4 is part of the lipid-binding protein family that helps maintain fatty acid equilibrium within cells. By controlling the transport and signaling of lipids FABP4 impacts lipid storage insulin sensitivity and inflammation processes. Its activity is not confined to a specific multimeric complex yet it interacts with other proteins to exert its functions contributing to significant metabolic pathways in the body.

Pathways

FABP4 plays essential roles in the regulation of metabolic and inflammatory signaling pathways. It is intricately involved in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) pathway where it modulates adipose tissue development and glucose metabolism. In addition FABP4 has connections with the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway influencing stress and inflammatory responses. Interactions with these pathways place FABP4 at a link with proteins like PPARγ and JNK essential for cellular metabolic balance and responses to metabolic stress.

Researchers connect FABP4 to conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Its expression levels correlate with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome making it a target of interest in these metabolic disorders. FABP4 interacts with other proteins like adiponectin which is important in modulating glucose levels and fatty acid breakdown. Understanding FABP4's role in these pathways can facilitate the development of therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting metabolic dysfunctions associated with obesity and diabetes.
