Description : | Lipocalin-2 (LCN2), also known as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), is a 25 kDa protein belonging to the lipocalin superfamily. It was initially found in activated neutrophils, however, many other cells, like kidney tubular cells, may produce NGAL in response to various insults. This protein is released from injured tubular cells after various damaging stimuli, is already known by nephrologists as one of the most promising biomarkers of incoming Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Recent evidence also suggests its role as a biomarker in a variety of other renal and non-renal conditions. Moreover, recent studies seem to suggest a potential involvement of this factor also in the genesis and progression of chronic kidney diseases. NGAL is the first known mammalian protein which specifically binds organic molecules called siderophores, which are high-affinity iron chelators. NGAL, first known as an antibacterial factor of natural immunity, and an acute phase protein, is currently one of the most interesting and enigmatic proteins involved in the process of tumor development. acting as an intracellular iron carrier and protecting MMP9 from proteolytic degradation, NGAL has a clear pro-tumoral effect, as has already been observed in different tumors (e.g. breast, stomach, oesophagus, brain) in humans. In thyroid carcinomas, NGAL is strongly induced by NF-kB, an important factor involved both in tumor growth and in the link between chronic inflammation and neoplastic development. Thus, Lipocalin-2 (LCN2/NGAL) has been implicated in a variety of processes including cell differentiation, proliferation, survival and morphogenesis. |

Q&As (6)
Ask a questionMutations or abnormal expression of the LCN2 protein may be associated with a variety of diseases. For example, in hereditary kidney disease, mutations in the uNGAL gene can lead to kidney damage. In addition, in inflammatory diseases, tumors, and other diseases, the expression level of LCN2 protein may also change.
Studies have shown that the expression level of LCN2 protein is associated with a variety of diseases. For example, in kidney disease, expression levels of the LCN2 protein can be elevated and can be used as one of the biomarkers to assess the extent of kidney damage. In addition, in inflammatory diseases, tumors, and other diseases, the expression level of LCN2 protein can also change.
The interaction between the LCN2 protein and other proteins or molecules is complex. For example, it can participate in lipid metabolism processes by interacting with lipid molecules. In addition, it can interact with other signal transduction molecules to participate in the signal transduction process.
Kidney function can be assessed by measuring the level of uNGAL in urine, and to help diagnose kidney disease, etc. In addition, abnormal levels of LCN2 protein expression can also be used as an indicator to assess the risk and prognosis of other diseases.
The activity of the LCN2 protein is regulated by a variety of factors. First, its expression level is regulated by gene expression. Secondly, its activity is also regulated by a variety of small molecule compounds, hormones and other substances. In addition, the LCN2 protein can also regulate its activity by interacting with other proteins.
LCN2 protein has some association with other biomarkers. For example, in kidney disease, expression levels of uNGAL can be used alongside traditional biomarkers such as creatinine to assess kidney function and degree of impairment. In addition, in diseases such as tumors, expression levels of the LCN2 protein may also change and be associated with other biomarkers.
