Target
Mouse neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL; also called lipocalin 2, 24p3, SIP24, uterocalinand siderocalin) is a member of the lipocalin family of proteins which bind and transport small lipophilicmolecules. 24p3 was observed to be dramatically upregulated in kidney cell cultures infected with SV40and subsequently identified as a lipocalin. Unlike human NGAL, it is an acute phase protein upregulatedin the liver, but like its mammalian homologues it is upregulated and secreted by the kidney in responseto ischemic or nephrotoxic injury. It is also upregulated in the involuting uterus and mammary gland.
