The coding part of the cDNA of cardiac fatty acid-binding protein (cFABP) from bovine heart was cloned into the vector pKK233-2. After induction with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside cFABP was found in a soluble form in the cytosol of plasmid transformed E. coli amounting up to 5.7% of the soluble protein. cFABP was detected after SDS-polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis and/or isoelectric focusing and Western blot by immuno-staining and was determined quantitatively by a solid phase enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay. The cFABP produced by bacteria binds oleic acid with high affinity as shown by comigration of protein and ligand in both gelfiltration and isoelectric focusing. cFABP was purified from bacterial lysates to near homogeneity and resolved into four isoproteins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007525 Isoelectric Focusing Electrophoresis in which a pH gradient is established in a gel medium and proteins migrate until they reach the site (or focus) at which the pH is equal to their isoelectric point. Electrofocusing,Focusing, Isoelectric
D007544 Isopropyl Thiogalactoside A non-metabolizable galactose analog that induces expression of the LAC OPERON. IPTG,Isopropyl 1-Thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside,1-Thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside, Isopropyl,Isopropyl 1 Thio beta D galactopyranoside,Thiogalactoside, Isopropyl
D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow. Muscle, Cardiac,Muscle, Heart,Cardiac Muscle,Myocardia,Cardiac Muscles,Heart Muscle,Heart Muscles,Muscles, Cardiac,Muscles, Heart
D009363 Neoplasm Proteins Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm. Proteins, Neoplasm

They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
