Canine Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) ELISA Kit
Overview: NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) belongs to the lipocalin family of proteins. These are typically small secreted proteins characterized by their ability to bind small, hydrophobic molecules in a structurally conserved pocket formed by beta-pleated sheet, to bind to specific cell-surface receptors and to form macromolecular complexes. NGAL has many synonyms: it also known as NL (neutrophil lipocalin,HNL, rat NL), lipocalin, oncogene protein 24p3 or uterocalin (in the mouse) and neu-related lipocalin or 25 kDa alpha 2-microglobulin-related protein6 (in the rat). Rat NGAL consists of a single disulfide-bridged polypeptide chain of 178 amino-acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 22 kDa, but glycosylation increases its apparent molecular mass to 25 kDa.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Iron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as apoptosis, innate immunity and renal development. Binds iron through association with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin, and delivers or removes iron from the cell, depending on the context. Iron-bound form (holo-24p3) is internalized following binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor, leading to release of iron and subsequent increase of intracellular iron concentration. In contrast, association of the iron-free form (apo-24p3) with the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor is followed by association with an intracellular siderophore, iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium, thereby reducing intracellular iron concentration. Involved in apoptosis due to interleukin-3 (IL3) deprivation: iron-loaded form increases intracellular iron concentration without promoting apoptosis, while iron-free form decreases intracellular iron levels, inducing expression of the proapoptotic protein BCL2L11/BIM, resulting in apoptosis. Involved in innate immunity, possibly by sequestrating iron, leading to limit bacterial growth.

Product Notes
The Canine NGAL lcn2 (Catalog #AAA2800398) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA2800398 ELISA Kit recognizes Canine NGAL. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
