This protein is released from injured tubular cells after various damaging stimuli; is already known by nephrologists as one of the most promising biomarkers of incoming Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Recent evidence also suggests its role as a biomarker in a variety of other renal and non-renal conditions. Moreover; recent studies seem to suggest a potential involvement of this factor also in the genesis and progression of chronic kidney diseases. NGAL is the first known mammalian protein which specifically binds organic molecules called siderophores; which are high-affinity iron chelators. NGAL; first known as an antibacterial factor of natural immunity; and an acute phase protein; is currently one of the most interesting and enigmatic proteins involved in the process of tumor development. acting as an intracellular iron carrier and protecting MMP9 from proteolytic degradation; NGAL has a clear pro-tumoral effect; as has already been observed in different tumors (e.g. breast; stomach; oesophagus; brain) in humans. In thyroid carcinomas; NGAL is strongly induced by NF-kB; an important factor involved both in tumor growth and in the link between chronic inflammation and neoplastic development. Thus; Lipocalin-2 (LCN2\/NGAL) has been implicated in a variety of processes including cell differentiation; proliferation; survival and morphogenesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConcentration\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eActivity\u003c\/b\u003e: Not validated for activity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSequence\u003c\/b\u003e: Gln21-Gly198\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurity\u003c\/b\u003e:  \u0026gt; 90 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormulation\u003c\/b\u003e: Supplied as a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, 50% Glycerol, pH 7.4.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReconstitution\u003c\/b\u003e: Not Applicable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEndotoxin\u003c\/b\u003e:  \u0026lt; 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCalculated MW\u003c\/b\u003e: 21.8 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eObservedMW\u003c\/b\u003e: 20-23 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GeneBio Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47978915397732,"sku":"PKSH032807","price":301.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/8588\/9636\/files\/no_image_default_image-jpeg_e0286687-1c72-4816-9637-84c0238a35f5.jpg?v=1772297855","url":"https:\/\/www.genebiosystems.com\/en-us\/products\/recombinant-human-ngal-lipocalin-2-protein-his-tag-e-coli","provider":"GeneBio ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
