SYNONYMS

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, NGAL, Alpha-2-microglobulin-related protein, Alpha-2U globulin-related protein, Lipocalin-2, Siderocalin LCN2, p25.

INTRODUCTION

Lipocalin-2 also called Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) belongs to a family of lipocans which include 25 proteins (including a1-microglobulin and b-lactoglobulin), which are characterized by their ability to bind small lipophilic substances in their hydrophobic core. They thereby serve as transporters of substances like retinal, biliverdins & prostaglandins. There are indications that NGAL is involved in modulation of the inflammatory response and is found in the plasma of patients after stroke.
