Background
|
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL; also called lipocalin 2, siderocalin and neutrophil
lipocalin) is a member of the lipocalin family of proteins which bind and transport small lipophilic
molecules. NGAL is released by activated neutrophils and occurs as 25-kDa glycosylated single protein
chain monomers, which form dimers and small amounts of higher oligomers, as well as complexes with
matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9; gelatinase B). Low level expression of NGAL in a variety of epithelia
may be increased in inflammation or cancers. Expression of NGAL in the kidney is dramatically increased
by acute kidney injury.
analogy with its homologues in other mammalian species, be released from activated neutrophils in
inflammation or infection, from certain epithelial cancers, and more dramatically from renal tubular cells
in response to ischemic or nephrotoxic injury.

(NGAL), is also called lipocalin 2, 25-kDa alpha 2-microglobulin-related protein or neu-related lipocalin. It
is expressed by neutrophils and various epithelial cells, including tubular cells of the kidney. It is involved
in physiological processes such as the binding of siderophore iron and tissue growth and regeneration. It
is up-regulated in a variety of pathological situations including infection, inflammation, renal injury and
certain adenocarcinomas.
and siderocalin) is a member of the lipocalin family of proteins which bind and transport small lipophilic
molecules. 24p3 was observed to be dramatically upregulated in kidney cell cultures infected with SV40
and subsequently identified as a lipocalin. Unlike human NGAL, it is an acute phase protein upregulated
in the liver. but like its mammalian homologues it is upregulated and secreted by the kidney in response
to ischemic or nephrotoxic injury. It is also upregulated in the involuting uterus and mammary gland. |
