FABP1 (Fatty acid binding protein1) encodes the fatty acid binding protein found in liver. FABP1 is composed of ten antiparallel beta strands that form a barrel with a bigger binding pocket than the other FABPs allowing it to accommodate two fatty acid. This protein binds free fatty acids and their coenzyme A derivatives, bilirubin, and some other small molecules in the cytoplasm, it may be involved in intracellular lipid transport and metabolism. Recombinant human FABP1, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
