The following Lipocalin 2 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of lipocalin 2 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the LCN2 gene. This protein is known to be an iron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as apoptosis, innate immunity and renal development. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 198 residues, a mass of 22.6 kDa, and is a member of the Lipocalin protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasmic vesicles, cytoplasm, and is secreted. In addition, it is notably expressed in neutrophils. As many as 2 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally glycosylated. This protein may also be known as MSFI, NGAL, p25, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, 25 kDa alpha-2-microglobulin-related subunit of MMP-9, and 24p3.
The detection range for different lipocalin 2 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.59 pg/mL and as high as 1000 ng/mL.
