Roles of human liver type fatty acid binding protein in kidney disease clarified using hL‐FABP chromosomal transgenic mice

Abstract excerpt

Kidney disease develops to renal failure over a period of days, months or years, hence, clinical markers that indicate the real-time renal pathophysiological conditions is important. Liver type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) is a 14 kDa molecule predominantly expressed in human proximal tubules. Clinical studies demonstrate that urinary excretion of L-FABP derived from the proximal tubules is an excellent...
