General description
LCN2 (lipocalin 2) is a 25kDa lipocalin glycoprotein expressed in tissues which are more exposed to microorganisms, such as bone marrow. Its expression is regulated by wide range of molecules such as pro-inflammatory cytokines (Interleukins, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferons) and vitamins (retinoic acid). It belongs to the large lipoprotein superfamily. It was first identified in specific granules of the human neutrophil.
Immunogen
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-LCN2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem/physiol Actions
LCN2 (lipocalin 2) is mainly involved in the cell growth and differentiation along with innate immune response. It is mainly involved in the transmembrane transportation of small lipophilic substances, such as bacterial derived formylpeptides and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) during inflammation. In innate immune response, it destroys microbial growth factor to mediate anti-bacterial action. It has clinical relevance in different malignant diseases such as breast, urinary tract, gynaecological, thyroid and gastric malignancies.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
