LCN2 - lipocalin 2 Gene
Also Known as p25; 24p3; MSFI; NGAL
Species: Homo sapiens
About LCN2
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 211 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Biased expression in gall bladder (RPKM 1027.2), bone marrow (RPKM 834.0) and 5 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the Lipocalin Family. Members of this family transport small hydrophobic molecules such as lipids, steroid Hormones and retinoids. The protein encoded by this gene is a neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and plays a role in innate immunity by limiting Bacterial growth as a result of sequestering iron-containing siderophores. The presence of this protein in blood and urine is an early biomarker of acute kidney injury. This protein is thought to be be involved in multiple cellular processes, including maintenance of skin homeostasis, and suppression of invasiveness and metastasis. Mice lacking this gene are more susceptible to Bacterial infection than wild type mice. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
