Target Details for Lipocalin 2

Target: Lipocalin 2 (LCN2)

Alternative Name: LCN2

Background:

Synonyms: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin,NGAL,25 kDa alpha-2-microglobulin-related subunit of MMP-9,Lipocalin-2,Oncogene 24p3,Siderocalin LCN2,p25,LCN2,HNL, NGAL,

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in bone marrow and in tissues that are prone to exposure to microorganism. High expression is found in bone marrow as well as in uterus, prostate, salivary gland, stomach, appendix, colon, trachea and lung. Not found in the small intestine or peripheral blood leukocytes. .

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.

Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
