Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin
Active
Description
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), also known as oncogene 24p3 or lipocalin-2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LCN2 gene. NGAL is involved in innate immunity by sequestrating iron that in turn limits bacterial growth. It is expressed in neutrophils and in low levels in the kidney, prostate, and epithelia of the respiratory and alimentary tracts. NGAL is used as a biomarker of kidney injury, which occurs about 30 percent of the time in heart failure patients.
