Target Details for Lipocalin 2

Target: Lipocalin 2 (LCN2)

Alternative Name: Lcn2 (LCN2 Products)

Background:

Synonyms: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin,NGAL,Alpha-2-microglobulin-related protein,Alpha-2U globulin-related protein,Lipocalin-2,Siderocalin LCN2,p25,Lcn2,

Tissue Specificity: Detected in lung, spleen, uterus, vagina and epididymis. .

Background: Europhile gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LCN2 gene. The binding of lipocalin-2 to bacterial siderophores is important in the innate immune response to bacterial infection. Upon encountering invading bacteria the toll-like receptors on immune cells stimulate the synthesis and secretion of lipocalin-2. Secreted lipocalin-2 then limits bacterial growth by sequestering iron-containing siderophores. Lipocalin-2 also functions as a growth factor.
