Human-fatty Acid Binding Protein (H-FABP) Test

This H-FABP test is used to determine the content of Heart Fatty Acid binding Protein (H-FABP) in human serum or plasma.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the common critical diseases of clinical cardiovascular disease. Human heart fatty acid-binding protein is a low molecular weight (14~15KD) cytoplasmic protein in the cytoplasm of cardiomyocytes. It has strong myocardial specificity and is not degraded in the blood. The heart-type fatty acid-binding protein is one of the earliest markers released into the blood circulation during myocardial injury. As an early marker of myocardial injury, H-FABP has a high diagnostic value in the early stage of AMI (especially STAMI), especially in 0 to 6 hours, and has high sensitivity and specificity.

Testing Principle of Human-fatty Acid Binding Protein (H-FABP) Test

• The antibody of Human Heart Fatty Acid binding Protein is coated on the latex surface.
• The H-FABP in the sample and the antibody become immune complexes by Latex agglutination reaction.
• The immune complexes will produce the phenomenon of light scattering which is proportional to the intensity of scattered light and samples of H-FABP levels.
• Using a specific protein analyzer to measure the intensity of scattered light, the concentration of the H-FABP cardiac marker is determined by comparing the turbidity of samples to the standard concentration.
