Notes
While the standard is the same as the one provided in the corresponding SimpleStep ELISA Kit, it cannot be treated as the consumable provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kit due to differences in its concentration calibration.
Abcam guarantee that this protein standard is suitable for use in a sandwich ELISA. Individual results may vary due to differences in technique, laboratory equipment, buffers, and other experimental factors. The detection range provided for this protein standard is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data.
The protein concentration is the concentration after validation on our sandwich ELISA platform. This Standard protein is guaranteed to work with our Capture and Detector antibodies in sELISA. Please contact our Scientific Supportteam to know which antibody pair is suitable for this protein.

- Activity summary
H-FABP also known as heart-type fatty acid binding protein is a small protein with a molecular mass of approximately 14.5 kDa. This protein is primarily found in the cytoplasm of cardiac muscle cells but it also can be detected in skeletal muscles and other tissues at lower concentrations. H-FABP binds long-chain fatty acids and is important for the intracellular transport and metabolism of these molecules. The protein is often used as a biomarker for cardiac injury due to its rapid release into the bloodstream following muscle damage.
- Biological function summary
Fatty acid binding largely defines H-FABP's role facilitating the transport of fatty acids within cells which is key for energy production. It is not part of a larger protein complex but plays into broader lipid metabolism processes. The efficiency of H-FABP in fatty acid binding and transport helps maintain cellular energy homeostasis especially in tissues with high fatty acid metabolism like the heart.
- Pathways
H-FABP integrates into the fatty acid metabolic pathways and the beta-oxidation pathway. It is associated with the transport and utilization of fatty acids linking it to the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway an important regulator of lipid metabolism. Proteins such as CD36 and PPARα interact with H-FABP within these pathways influencing lipid storage and energy balance.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Disruptions in H-FABP levels or function correlate with cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction. Elevated blood levels of H-FABP provide early markers of cardiac cell injury. Additionally alterations can also relate to metabolic disorders like obesity where lipid metabolism gets impaired. In these contexts proteins such as troponin and creatine kinase may also serve as biomarkers elucidating the relationship between H-FABP and myocardial stress or damage.
