FABP7
fatty acid binding protein 7
The gene encodes a small, highly conserved cytoplasmic protein that bind long-chain fatty acids and other hydrophobic ligands. The encoded protein is important in the establishment of the radial glial fiber in the developing brain. Alternative splicing and promoter usage results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on multiple chromosomes.

Proteomics
Proteomic analyses of post-mortem brains show whether protein products of FABP7 are differentially expressed between AD cases and controls. Each box plot depicts how the differential expression of the protein(s) of interest (purple dot) compares with expression of other proteins in a given brain region. Summary statistics for each tissue can be viewed by hovering over the purple dots.
Targeted SRM Differential Protein Expression
Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) data was generated from the DLPFC region of post-mortem brains of over 1000 individuals from multiple human cohort studies.
Note that only a single SRM result is available for a given gene, as the probes used for this experiment were designed to match multiple protein products derived from each targeted gene.
Genome-wide Differential Protein Expression
Select a protein from the dropdown menu to see whether it is differentially expressed between AD cases and controls.
The assay-specific box plots below depict how the differential expression of the selected protein of interest (purple dot) compares with expression of other proteins in each brain region that was assayed. Assay-specific summary statistics for each brain region can be viewed by hovering over the purple dot.
Multiple proteins may map to a single gene. Results from both TMT and LFQ assays are provided, however results for some proteins may be available for only one of the assays.
TMT Differential Protein Expression
Tandem mass tagged (TMT) data was generated from the DLPFC region of post-mortem brains of 400 individuals from the ROSMAP cohort.
Note that proteins may not be detected in this brain region; for these proteins, the plot will show no data.
LFQ Differential Protein Expression
Liquid-free quantification (LFQ) data was generated from post-mortem brains of more than 500 individuals. Samples were taken from four human cohort studies, representing four different brain regions.
Note that proteins may not be detected in all four brain regions; for these proteins, the plot will show fewer than four brain regions.
