  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR QUANTITATIVELY MONITORING LIPIDS
    Publication number: 20140234862
    Abstract: Provided herein are fluorescent lipid binding proteins (FLBPs). The FLBPs comprise a lipid binding domain linked to a fluorophore, whereby the fluorophore's fluorescence emission undergoes a spectral change upon lipid binding.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 10, 2014
    Publication date: August 21, 2014
    Applicant: The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois
    Inventor: Wonhwa Cho
  • Compositions and methods for quantitatively monitoring lipids
    Patent number: 8686115
    Abstract: Provided herein are fluorescent lipid binding proteins (FLBPs). The FLBPs comprise a lipid binding domain linked to a fluorophore, whrereby the fluorophore's fluorescence emission undergoes a spectral change upon lipid binding. the fluorophore is selected from the group consisting of 2-dimethylamino-6-acyl-naphthalene (DAN) and RED fluorophore and the lipid binding protein is selected from the group consisting of ENTH domain of epsin 1, C2 domain of bovine lactadherin, C 1B domain of protein kinase C-gamma, C2 domain of cytosolic phospholipase A2-beta, and PH domain of Bruton's tyrosine kinase PH.
    Type: Grant
