Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4, 5% trehalose.
Endotoxin
Less than 0.1EU/μg of rHuFABP6 as determined by LAL method.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Background
FABP6, also named ILBP, I-15P and I-BABP, is belonging to the FABPs family and it is encoded by the FABP6 gene in human. The fatty-acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of carrier proteins for fatty acids and other lipophilic substances such as eicosanoids and retinoids. Levels of fatty-acid-binding protein have been shown to decline with ageing in the mouse brain, possibly contributing to age-associated decline in synaptic activity. FABP6 and FABP1 (the liver fatty acid binding protein) are also able to bind bile acids. It is thought that FABPs roles include fatty acid uptake, transport, and metabolism. Recombinant human FABP6 contains 127 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 14.2kDa.
