Background Information
FABP5, also named as PA-FABP and E-FABP, belongs to the calycin superfamily and Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family. It is high specificity for fatty acids. FABP5 is highest affinity for C18 chain length. It may be involved in keratinocyte differentiation. FABP5 is a fatty acid-binding protein and is expressed in epidermis and endothelial cells of the microvasculature of different organs. FABP5 has also been identified as a tumor-associated antigen, which is highly expressed in various cancers. FABP5 was detected in the sera of HNSCC patients with early stage cancer. Antibodies specific for FABP5 were significantly increased in a substantial amount in patients, suggesting that FABP5 may be a potential diagnostic biomarker for HNSCC. FABP5 may serve as a biomarker for HNSCC.(PMID:19602232)

Reviews
What customers say
Users report strong performance across multiple applications. One reviewer achieved excellent Western blot and immunofluorescence results on BMDMs at 1:400. Another used it successfully for IHC and IF on 100 µm frozen mouse brain sections, noting strong, consistent labeling with good penetration, though mild background in some cortical areas was manageable with adjusted blocking. A third user confirmed robust immunoreactivity in mouse nerve tissue by IF at 1:500. Overall, the antibody is considered reliable and reproducible, with only minor background as a noted limitation.

Jeroen (Verified Customer) (03-19-2026) | The antibody works perfectly for nice westernblots (on a special gel for small proteins) and ICC images

Vanessa (Verified Customer) (11-12-2025) | I used the FAB antibody for immunolabeling 100 µm frozen mouse brain sections collected at postnatal day 12 (P12) and postnatal day 30 (P30). The antibody performed well overall, showing strong and specific labeling of the expected structures in both age groups. Signal penetration through the thick frozen sections was good, and labeling was consistent across samples. There was a mild level of background staining, particularly in some cortical regions, but this did not interfere with interpretation of the specific signal. Adjusting blocking conditions and antibody dilution helped reduce the background. In general, the FAB antibody is reliable for use in thick frozen brain sections. It produces clear, reproducible staining with manageable background, making it suitable for developmental and comparative studies. Pros: Good penetration and signal in thick (100 µm) frozen sections Strong, consistent labelling at P12 and P30 Reproducible results Cons: Slight nonspecific background in some areas
