Background
|
Rat NGAL, so called because it is the ortholog of human neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin
(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. |
