Nori Rat H-FABP ELISA Kit

DataSheet   

This ELISA kit is for quantification of H-FABP in rat. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for H-FABP has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any H-FABP present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for H-FABP is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of H-FABP bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Alternative names for H-FABP: Heart-type fatty acid binding protein, FABP3, FABP11, MDG1

Background: 

Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) also known as mammary-derived growth inhibitor, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FABP3 gene.[1] Its function is to arrest growth of mammary epithelial cells. It is also a candidate tumor suppressor for human breast cancer. H-FABP is a small cytoplasmic protein (15 kDa) released from cardiac myocytes following an ischemic episode.[2] Like the nine other distinct FABPs, H-FABP is involved in active fatty acid metabolism where it transports fatty acids from the cell membrane to mitochondria for oxidation.[2]  H-FABP is a sensitive biomarker for myocardial infarction (MI)[3] and can be detected in the blood within 1-3 hours of the pain. H-FABP is 20 times more specific to cardiac muscle than myoglobin,[4]  H-FABP is recommended to be measured with troponin to identify MI and acute coronary syndrome in patients with chest pain. H-FABP measured with troponin shows increased accuracy and sensitivity of 20.6% over troponin at 3-6 hours following chest pain onset.[5]  It rapidly release into plasma after myocardial injury – 60 minutes after an ischemic episode,[6] and has tissue specificity. Measuring H-FABP in combination with troponin has a negative predictive value of 98%, could be used to identify those not suffering from MI at the early time point of 3-6 hours post chest pain onset.[5] [6] Alongside D-dimer, NT-proBNP and peak troponin T, H-FABP was the only cardiac biomarker that proved to be a statistically significant predictor of death or MI at one year. Patients who were TnI negative but H-FABP positive had 17% increased risk of all cause mortality within one year compared to those patients who were TnI positive but H-FABP negative.[7]  H-FABP has been proven to significantly predict 30 day mortality in acute pulmonary embolism.[8] H-FABP is more effective than Troponin T in risk stratifying Chronic Heart Failure patients.[9]
