Overview
| Product name | Recombinant Human Lipocalin-2/NGAL/LCN2 Protein |
|---|
| Catalog No. | RP00022 |
|---|
| Description | Recombinant Human Lipocalin-2/NGAL/LCN2 Protein is produced by insect cell-baculovirus expression system. The target protein is expressed with sequence (Gln21-Gly198) of human LCN2/NGAL (Accession #NP_005555.2). |
|---|
| Bio-Activity | Measured by its ability to bind Iron(III) dihydroxybenzoic acid [Fe(DHBA)3]. The binding of Fe(DHBA)3 results in the quenching of Trp fluorescence in recombinant human Lipocalin-2. Recombinant human Lipocalin-2 can bind >10625 μM of Fe(DHBA)3.

Background
Lipocalin-2 (LCN2), also known as neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), is a 25 kDa protein belonging to the lipocalin superfamily. Members of this family transport small hydrophobic molecules such as lipids, steroid hormones and retinoids. The protein 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.

Usage guide
| Storage | Store at -20℃.Store the lyophilized protein at -20℃ to -80 ℃ up to 1 year from the date of receipt.
After reconstitution, the protein solution is stable at -20℃ for 3 months, at 2-8℃ for up to 1 week. |
|---|
| Reconstitution | Centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid vortex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage, it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose), and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles. |
