FABP3 (Fatty acid binding protein 3) is also known as heart fatty acid binding protein and is a member of Fatty acid binding proteins (FABPs) which are a family of small, highly conserved, cytoplasmic proteins to bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. FABP3 is abundant in the myocardium and rapidly released from cardiomyocytes into the circulation after the onset of cell damage. Therefore, this protein has been proposed as an early biochemical marker of acute myocardial infarction and a sensitive marker for the detection and evaluation of myocardial damage in patients with heart failure. Recombinant FABP3 protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
