TypeMouse ELISA Kits (Murine)
DescriptionMouse Lcn2/Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin ELISA Kit is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit designed for the quantitative measurement of Lcn2 in biological samples. Our rigorously validated, ready-to-go Mouse Lcn2/Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin ELISA Kit use a simple protocol that easily integrates into your current processes, allowing you to rapidly and accurately detect Lcn2 in your samples. Appropriate sample types may include Cell Culture Supernates, Serum, Platelet-poor EDTA Plasma, Platelet-poor Heparin Plasma, Urine.
Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay): Three samples of known concentration were tested several times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays): Three samples of known concentration were tested in several separate assays to assess inter-assay precision. Assays were performed by at least two technicians using two lots of components.

FunctionIron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as apoptosis, innate immunity and renal development (PubMed:12453413). 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; limits bacterial proliferation by sequestering iron bound to microbial siderophores, such as enterobactin (PubMed:15531878, PubMed:16446425). Can also bind siderophores from M.tuberculosis (By similarity).
