A cDNA clone for the human skeletal-muscle fatty-acid-binding protein (FABP) was isolated by screening of a human adult muscle lambda gt11 expression library with an anti-(muscle FABP) serum. The...

Expression in Escherichia coli and characterization of the fatty-acid-binding protein from human muscle.

Peeters, R A, Ena, J M, Veerkamp, J H

The coding part of the cDNA encoding human muscle fatty-acid-binding protein (FABP) was ligated in the pET8c vector and expressed under the control of the lacUV5 promoter. After induction with...

Concomitant increase in hepatic triacylglycerol biosynthesis and cytosolic fatty-acid-binding-protein content after feeding rats with a cholestyramine-containing diet.

Kempen, H J, Glatz, J F, De Lange, J, Veerkamp, J H

Cholestyramine feeding of rats increased the rate of palmitate and glycerol incorporation into triacylglycerols of isolated hepatocytes. Concomitantly an increase of fatty-acid binding by hepatic...

The effect of starvation on branched-chain 2-oxo acid oxidation in rat muscle.

Wagenmakers, A J, Veerkamp, J H
